oh and apply before you finish your course!!!!!

Hi Welshman I've been in /still am in (kinda) your position. I qualified in Jan with tech cert, part p, water regs and unvented and have only just started (today) to get work experience with a plumber. I could have done this sooner, i realise now. :oops: I first sent out CVs to several...

I recently skimmed the walls in my bedroom and the other day started to line one wall where I was going to put a radiator (so that if it went wrong the radiator would cover it - as it was my first time at hanging paper!). I dont have any skirting boards yet and thought that I could add them...

:lol: and I thought I'd heard all the plumbing related sexual inuendos! Guess there's still hundreds out there... good idea for another thread! Thanks everyone for the support. Oh and the online gambling has now stopped after my system failed! :shock: Made the grand total of £39 in the end so...

Nice thought though thanks! I wish I had done gas as well now. There are soooo many more jobs out there if you have gas quals. oh well. Seen a few jobs today on jobsite and fish4 so all is not lost. Just hope I get something quick before I'm forced to sell my body or worse join a medical trial...

Thanks - does it say plumbing? They are an electrical engineering company. Need to make sure before I call and make an a**e of myself!!!

Hey Corgiman. Thanks for the links! I have already applied to Homeserve and got a letter 2 days ago saying they had received my application but not that hopeful as I have been let down so many times in the past - even by companies who have offered me jobs then never followed through. The other...

Help! I need a job pronto!! The boyf (who has been supporting me for the last 5 months) is saying we cant afford the mortgage and I have to get a job fast - I dont want to go back to filing!!!!! Please help someone? I dont think they are any trades agencies round here :cry:

why is it any different from being a man and desperate?

I can move!....did i mention I was desperate?? :lol:

Dont think the Army is for me!!! dont fancy the physical aspect, or being shouted at/ordered around. Maybe Navy is better option...

Only serious work related offers considered I'm afraid!!! :lol:

Agile, No I dont think plumbers are on that much! Other people on my course have found employers - one is on 18K with a van - but I'd be happy to get anything right now!! :o Oh and I can be left to get on with work, just need someone there for guidance. I am not completely new to practical...

Lol! I've tried councils and housing associations. Almost got a job with my local HA but last minute said they havent got enough in the budget to employ me! :evil: Had an offer of a trial period with one firm but not heard anything for weeks and now it looks like they are shut...

Hi Daz66. That was my plan originally but I really lack confidence because I havent got the experience. I dont want to ruin my reputation before I've begun!!:shock: My course finished at christmas so its been a while and with every passing week I feel like I'm forgetting more!!! :oops: Plus...

Cos if they didnt they'd be sacked and wouldnt earn £7.5x the hours they do work - ends up working out the same as another supermarket, plus sitting in a room is easier than working double the hours somewhere else. Another reason for the pay, i'm told is that they have to remember all the...

Great box - where can I get one? Looks like its missing a nail file though!

ahhh! see what you mean. I'm sure he'll ask for one if he sees this post! Havent got one of me in my overalls tho :cry:

What/who is RF? Thanks everyone for the support and advice. Molecular Biology wasn't really my thing, difficult to get a job in as well not to mention badly paid. :roll: Come on plumbers.....there must be someone out there who would like to boss a female around (for a change!). I'll work...
