Wish me luck
 

Well i got an email the other day from my school notifying me about a mechanical engineering internship at Hotchkis Suspension. So i applied for it. Im not sure im far enough along with my schooling to do it, but hey, why not apply and see what happens. Really hoping to get this and get some real hands on experience. I'd be working right along side their cheif engineer. Regardless, who ever gets it is gonna have a great opportunity. Hotchkis is a class act for doing this.:thumbsup:

Good luck.And make the best of this opp. and good things will happen.Scott :thumbsup:

Very cool. Good luck!:thumbsup:

Yeah...what he said!!!! :yes:

Thats a sweet deal, Good luck.

good luck! that would be awesome!

Thanks guys. Its not a for sure thing but my fingers are definitely crossed. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I keep daydreaming about how cool it would be to intern there.

Good luck, just don't be surprised if you are asked to spend a considerable amount of time doing things that are not "engineering work".

Sounds like a good gig!

Have fun and learn all you can! :)

That would be a great opportunity, good luck.

well, got the call from Henry Hancock, the General Manager today. Have an interview scheduled for wednesday. cant wait to hear what happens,either way. hopefully if im not far enough along right now its a foot in the door for when i am later on down the road

That's great! Hope ya get it!

my dream job; too bad im not a mech engineer

Very cool. Congrats on the interview. Good luck!:thumbsup:

I wish you get the job. Good luck!!! :)

thanks guys! really hoping i get this too. would be such a great opportunity as so many of you have said. looks like ill have my fingers crossed till late afternoon wednesday. thanks again for the positive words and thoughts :cheers:

Good luck!!

I might end up workin' with ya... I would tell you to use me as a reference but that may hurt more than help. lol

Good luck...and congratulations in advance.:unibrow:

thanks a lot! im hoping in a few days ill be able to tell you guys some good news

thanks steve! :thumbsup: i might have to name drop and if they say anything bad ill pretend i have no idea what they are talking about nor any idea who you are. or that i even said your name for that matter:lol:

Good luck Jeff, I hope you get the job ! BTW, will you be at the open house tomorrow ?

Good luck Knock um dead!

I was actually thinking about going.. i was on the website today and saw that. I think ill try to make it down.

much appreciated!

Well, I had the interview at Hotchkis today, rather than wednesday as initially said. They are some of the nicest people I have met. John Hotchkis and Henry Hancock (general manager) were incredibly welcoming. I spoke with Henry and he said the only thing he is concerned about is what I had thought, not being far enough along with my schooling. He did however say he is going to see what the engineering department will do. He said out of the interviews he has done so far, I was the only one that really seemed to know about "pro-touring" and that I had a great knowledge of the industry (which i can attribute to this lat-g), I even named dropped this site :unibrow: . He still has a few more interviews to conduct and is going to get back to me in a few weeks. Regardless, a class act group of people over there. I'll also try to post some pics from saturday where they had their camaro car show and open house. :thumbsup:

Good deal. That is a great opportunity. I really believe everything happens for a reason.

Very cool man. GOOD LUCK!:cheers:

^^Words to live by!:thumbsup:

Sounds like it went well! Good luck! I'm sure your enthusiasm and background knowledge will help.

Well I just received an email from Hotchkis today. Unfortunately it wasnt the news I was hoping to hear. I did not get the internship position but they are keeping my resume on file. Like many of you guys said, everything happens for a reason and that is what im thinking as well. Im hoping at a later date further on in my educational pursuits i will be qualified enough to participate in their engineering internship program. However, until then, time to buckle down and hit the books:thumbsup:

Stay positive, learn all you can. You'll get a chance to use it.

Sorry. But like I say, everything happens for a reason. Just keep hitting the books and your time will come. Stay positive. :thumbsup:

thanks guys! definitely gonna keep my head up and nose to the grindstone. really appreciate the encouraging words. I have a feeling the right opportunity will present itself when im ready for it
