Put it this way, I'm going to buy a new suit and some shoe polish tomorrow :D
Would it not be wiser to rent the suit? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Tescos do one for about 40 quid, and it looks pretty smart. I already have shoes and and a tie, if I buy one then I can use it again for weddings and christenings ;)
Prefer Asda myself, but it's a worthwhile investment in itself. Tend to buy a new suit every 6 weeks or so (for less than £60 each, complete bargain)

We (mostly Conny if truth be told ;) ) were only mocking you as a sign of our affection for, and deep appreciation of you. I apologise - I'm a weak willed man who gets led astray by the ruffians on here far too easily. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:




:LOL: :LOL:
 
daneski - I accept your apology in the same spirit it was meant ;) :LOL:
 
Good luck to the OP. But times change or what :!: 1970 - apprenticeships everywhere - last on a school leavers list would be Council workman :rolleyes: . 2010 the poor bugger needs a degree and a day @ interview teqniques and a dodgy landlord`s suit - to get that Council job - While us baby boomers sit pretty waiting for the OP to start paying for OUR State pensions . plus his £600 plus a month rent to another dodgy landlord .... Don`t ya just love little britain :LOL: :LOL:
 
Hi lads (and ladies)

After searching long and far for the past year, I have finally got an interview for a plumbing apprenticeship with a local council after passing their initial assesment day.

It means everything to me to get this job and it may be the only chance I get, so I want to maximize my chances of getting the job.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me, or anyone with experience of being in an hour long interview could offer me some advice?

Thanks very much in advance!

look smart,make eye contact with the interviewer and have relevant questions to ask, good luck.
 
if all else fails, try sending spec letters to 50 of the companies locally who you think you could work for..

I sent mine out yesterday, got a call this morning, interview this afternoon, call back this evening, start on monday!!!! result!!! :)

Great isn't it? :rolleyes: Although there deffinitley won't be any more moans if I get this job!

I must of sent around 40 letters out, all about 6 pages long including a letter of reference from my tutor and the bloke I did work experience with, and also added photocopies of my gcse certificates. Not a single reply, but I suppose I'll keep trying if all else fails.
 
best of luck to you..

wear a watch, shows you're punctual and organised
don't wear too much / any bling.. wedding ring if you must ( but not if you're applying for machining jobs etc where you would have to take it off anyway.. etc.. )

your spec letter may be too complex.. would you sit and read 6 pages and wade through a load of certificates etc?

a one page covering letter and a copy of your 2 page CV should be sufficient..

if you give them all the info up front then they don't have to get you in to get the rest do they? :)
