hi my name is Catherine i live in wales and is currently doing my city & guilds level 2 in collage after 11 years in my current job i need a change for a more hands on job,
i am looking for somebody kind enough to take me on so i can do my nvq level 2 and gain on site experience, i have passed all my health and safety with distinction and regard myself as a very fast learner.

I have recently bought 99% of the tools i need to get going and also hold a clean driving licence, i know that in recent days its not as easy to get an opportunity for an apprenticeship but hopefully some one is willing to take a chance so i can show my ability to excel and develop within the trade

thanks for reading

cath

As Shaun says, which part of Wales do you live? Do you drive and have a clean license? Where do you want to take your career in the future? Gas, Oil, Water only etc?

You are a bit far away from me but if I get anything your way I may be able to offer a little free work experience if that is of any interest. what is your availability like as it may be short notice.

good luck :)

don't worry too much about the physical side, with this game its your head that counts 90% of the time

the other 10% you can always get someone to lend a hand !!!

my little suggestion would be to market yourself to firms as you're happy to specialise in boiler services and repairs.

sharp learning curve to that and patience is key!
too many firms make their bread and butter on installs
they fail to capitalise if they offer the servicing and repairs as the jam ontop, they would bring in twice as much !!!

to get your foot in the door offer to work odd days for free to get experiance before they commit, its quite a daunting thing taking a trainee on, particularly an older one who will potentially be hard to mould

again, good luck !!!

Cath,

I wish you all the best in your endeavours.

If you can, head down the service side of things. It far easier on the body, generally more challenging and it pays far better than doing volume construction work.
( in most cases )

But saying that, get your foot in the door wherever you can.

my only experience of the welsh language was a group of idiots in a national merchants who wouldn't talk English to me and found it hilarious.

their twitter team went slightly into meltdown over the video.......

i got my cylinder free the next day and a load of Milwaukee goodies.....

they all hop off the ferry over here gabbling away in some funny lingo, but that may just be due to excess alcohol intake on the way over
