British Gas Apprenticeship Advice Needed Please!

[cobey321]

lol i know mate whats the chances of us both getting it when they were taking on so little apprentices this year. I cant wait either to hand my notice in. I was so surprised as my main experience is customer service and the practical side of painting and decorating. There was mechanics at the interview and people at uni studying engineering, i thought to myself i have no chance. I think its because they are very customer focused and i have over 4 years customer service experience dealing with every customer you can imagine lol but ye cannot wait 98 days to go! but whos counting lol Are you attending a team working thing at the start? did the woman or guy explain that to you ajwiggan?

Hi guys
thanks ermintrude

Can't wait to leave my current job

Congratulations to you too, and good luck! Keep on the forum and let us know how you get on.

PS - if you can pass on details of every boiler replacement job BG quote on, it'd be much appreciated. We can follow on, quote it cheaper and buy you a Creme Egg out of our profit. Everyone's a winner!

Well done to you lads, all i can advise is stick on this forum and ask any question you can think of or if you're unsure on something!!

this forum has a wealth of knowledge in it, collectivly thousands of years worth of experiance to call on from regular posters.

i've learned a huge amount from it and i can 100% say i would not have the technical knowledge, practical skills or confidence i do now without it!!

Congratulations guys well done , At least you will be well trained and theres no such thing as a siily question, Is there ??

 

[Ajwiggan]

Thanks masood.

What really scared me was and hour and half on the way there I discovered I forgot my qualifications and all my id. The only thing I had was my driving licence and that's it.

i felt so silly when the lady came round to collect all the qualifications and ID AND ALL I HAD WAS MY DRIVING LICENCE .

then to make matters worse there was someone who lived really close to me because the other 4 lived far away. What's the chances of someone living right by me.

The team work exercise was different it really gets the best out of you
