Nice one :)

Which CAT is it? Peterborough?

I've had so many placement interviews now it's getting silly, and I've still not got one :(

I got to the final 3 for the Perkins/CAT engineering placement in Stafford but didn't get that job. Had one with CAT Defence products also, but not heard back off them.

Yea, It's Caterpillar/Perkins in Peterborough. One of my flat mates will also be working there next year which is cool. Funny thing is, did sod all prep but the job is pretty much the same as my 20 credit group project so really just fell into my lap. All I can say is keep your chin up. I hadn't found anything all year and was about to give up but something came along, and I'm sure it will for you as well.

All the best.

I've always got my 3rd year to go to if I don't get a placement that I want, then I can just do a placement between my 3rd and 4th years, but I really could do with the money before taking 3rd year instead of having to use savings etc.
