Looking to shadow someone for a while

[Harper10]

Hi there. I am really interested in becoming a plasterer. Although i cant go on a full time college course because i also need to work to pay the bills!

Anyway, i was wondering if there are any plasterers in the Birmingham area that would be willing to take me on as an apprentice? Maybe just one day a week or one day here and there. Just so i can watch and learn. I can plasterboard, prep walls and mix the plaster no problem so i can definitely be a help to someone and not a burden.

If anyone thinks they could help me i would very much appreciate it.

Thanks!

You claim to know something about the trade, so, if you are "really interested in becoming a plasterer" you would know that coming in and watching now and again would get you nowhere. How long would you expect to do this for, and then what?

If you are committed then you will go to any lengths, and make any sacrifice, to achieve your object. Starting with a brief CV, even for this kind of posting forum.
