Can never have too many irons in the fire. Providing he is doing that too, then I applaud him for asking in as many places as he can - I would do exactly the same should the need ever arise.
I work in a warehouse would love to put more up but because of what companies are like now dont want to say too much on the net incase they find out who i am. I suppose i could wait for thorn to go though
JLR are taking on staff at their Liverpool plant if you don't mind moving. Rich is right, my mate works at recruitment in JLR Solihull and he said they are only taking on skilled staff with plenty of experience. What you could do is try and get in at Liverpool, do 3-6months and ask for a transfer possibly.
