Today at one of the yards I use before I was even out of the truck one of the guys was at my window on a tow motor saying '' You know we're hiring right? when can you start? Monday?''
He tossed an application on my dash and said ''you know your metals, you know all the guys, fill it out and I'll talk to the boss!''
Holy. Moley.
And I'ma girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Are you going to take it? Ooops, too late to post.
Good luck.

Thanks Monty! And yes, if the big boss (who I'm familiar with) says ''ok'' then I'm going to do it! I can work scrap by day and learn more and scrap on my own at night as well.

You do realize this group will expect a report from you (once every 2 weeks or so) about the other side of the fence (scrapyard worker) with tips and suggestions on how <we> can make more money?

Monty, I figure *I'm* gonna teach them some things or two that I learned from all the smart folks here and from my own experience!!

Way to go NA!! I hope you get it! How serendipitous!

Congratulations seem to be in order. Lady or not skill is skill. Apparently the level of expertise you have shown has impressed those around you. Drive, determination and a willingness to exceed expectations knows not the gender, only the level of a person in which it does reside. I tip my hat to you and wish you all the best.

Congratulations, I've never got an offer from my yard (even tho they go thru employees like I do sox) I did get a compliment from 2 of the scale men thanking me for the good sorting job. They commented that it helped make their job just a little easier. Some people just bring everything in in one big load then stand there waiting for the scale guys to sort it for them. They should dock them a few cents for handling the peoples scrap twice.

NA,
I wish you the best. They know a hard worker when they see one!!
You know the boss, hopefully he is a good, fair guy to work for! (and lets his guys/gals buy stuff from his yard, cause you'll always see the occasional treasure come by!)
Keep us posted!!

NA.......Whoop Whoop, I wish you the best. Let us know if you get the job. You will be in a great position to pull knowledge from both sides and use it to help others (don't forget yourself too). They really do recognize effort and experience don't they?
The main yard I use has two girls working there.

Congrats NA!! I've been thinking about trying to get a job at one of the yards around here for the summers but I don't know if they'd hire me. LOL I know my stuff better then the main scale guy sometimes and they go through employees like crazy! They always hire guys who have never been in a scrap yard in their life and teach them everything. The last one didn't know how to grade aluminum the first time I saw him. Not everyone can survive in a scrap yard if you don't learn to love the metal.
