Makino

Anyone ever heard of Makino ? Got a call from them the yesterday about a job. I'm sure it would mean that I would have to relocate. Just want to get others opinions on the company before I talk to them again.

They make GREAT machines! Took a programming class there a few years ago and got a factory tour. I was really impressed. Their employees really seemed to like it there. Don't know how they pay, but I'd check it out. Where I went is a really pretty part of the country, north of Cincinatti.
Hope this helps

Makino and Niigata leapfrog each other for best machine. They are the Rolls Royce/Bentleys of the machine world. I have no experience with the companies but have worked on Niigatas several times. I'm guessing you're potentially going to be service tech or applications engineer?

Some of the best machines made. I would think it would take a good company to produce such a product.

This sounds great! I have no idea what position they have in mind for me. The called me on my cell while I was at work. I just made arrangments to speak to them on Monday.

I'll definately be interested in what they have to say. Thank you for the info.. I'm actually a little flattered that they called me.

Well, it seems the lady that contacted me was just a 'recruiter' that works for the company. She set up an interview with one of the managers. The position is a Regional Service Engineer (hehe me....an 'engineer'). No relocation would be required. A little traveling, but I'm up for that. Pay isn't bad either . In my opinion, the interview went well. Unfortunately, I couldn't say that I have done everything he asked about (electrical stuff, some type of software, etc). But over all I got a good vibe.

I'm supposed to find out this week! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
