In my opinion ... instead of e-mails,letters etc i would go in person to apply for jobs.

It shows that you are willing to put yourself out there 4 a job and also they can get a better picture about you in person unlike a bit of paper.

I am a manager/owner of a business and i am more willing to give someone a chance if i have seen them in person.

Good Luck

Local fuzz sending pm...never a good sign!!

 

lol

 

Why not contact the local tech and see what apprenticeships are available? I started sparking at 20 and am now working as a bid manager!

 

I agree that people are more likely to be interested in you if you personally take in a CV and even try to speak to the person responsible instead of the receptionist.

 

There is plenty out there you just have to look.

top tip mate

 

Information computer technology: fail

 

I would remove that and not mention it at all, a blank space will look better than saying you failed something

Mate, if a thick twat like me can get in the old bill by spouting the crap that other people want to here then I can sort out a CV, Im on it

[stevepeanut]

heres a story I heard on the news, a guy had been looking for a job for months and no luck. He stuck a fooking huge sign on a roundabout in busy town, something like "male, 28, driving licience, looking for work" and his mobile number under it, and he got 12 calls straight away

 

ps have you tried local loft/cavity wall places, I've been in this work a while, and they are always looking to hire staff, often young lads, who will work as a drivers mate, driver gets 70% of wage, young helper lad, gets 30%

[Deano1351]

Feel for ya mate, maybe look round your area for builders vans and give them a knock, its not mechanics but they love good labour and if your good it will pay well, just a suggestion, good luck fella

As part of my schooling, I undertook a 2 year NVQ Course in the Light Vehicle Motor Mechanics, this was something that I enjoyed immensely and made me realise that this was where I wanted to develop both myself and my career.

 

The course consisted of a day release from my school where I attended Hargreaves Motor Vehicle Training Ltd based in Leeds. Whilst there, in the first year, I was given training in basic vehicle maintenance and undertook every opportunity to further increase my knowledge of Motor Vehicles.

Once I had competed the first year, then I was sent to, two different Motor Vehicle employers, to expand my knowledge as well as putting to use the skills that I had already learnt. The 2 placements I attended were:

 

Waldorf MOT and Servicing, Waldorf Way,Wakefield, September 2007 to December 2007.

Interests

 

I enjoy restoring and working with classic cars, in particular classic Fords from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. I have worked with cars since…… and have worked at restoring my own car. I go to car shows and enjoy meeting new people. I also really enjoy valeting family and friends cars to a high standard.
