looking for employment help!!

[Alan Mcilravie]

Hi guys, I'm just new to the forum so not really sure where I should post this but here goes. I've just recently got myself into a self funded Plumbing course this is giving me all my qualifications in under 3 years!! I live in Kirkcaldy which is on the East Coast of Scotland, I'm looking for a self employed plumber or a plumbing company that would take me on and give me experience! I'm funding my own apprenticeship and after 3 years they will have a fully qualified person on there books!! All I need is a chance to do well I have a young family with a kid on the way and just want to be the best I can be to my kids and have a decent trade behind me to provide for them.

Thanks, Alan.

How old are you Alan, do you have your own transport to get to jobs and any tools?
No shame in bumping your first post again after 5-7 days if you don`t get a response.

As the song goes, two outa three ain`t bad. lol
Don`t worry about the tools bit.
If it was me I`d rather you were 28 than a lippy 18.

I would like the experience I need to boost up my practical ability but also I would be looking to gain employment within a company!!

 

[Alan Mcilravie]

I'm hoping people see my age as a good thing, a person who won't just stand about and wants to get stuck in and learn!

 

[smtplumbing]

Are you currently working

 

[Alan Mcilravie]

At the moment i'm unemployed I'm a qualified mechanic so I've been doing bits on the side to get some money after getting paid off!! Now I want a change of career!! I have been out with my brother in law who is a plumber but he has not long went from self employed back to being employed with a company,!! But there company is full and not got the time to train me up!!

 

[smtplumbing]

So what is your expectations of work experience eg.days weeks months

 

[Alan Mcilravie]

I would prefer if it was something I could take on for the long run as the course only has its practical days every so often for a week at a time! So the more I could get out the more I'm going to learn!!

Well that`s 2 bonus points Alan, you know one end of a spanner from the other & you could fix the van if needed!
