I am currently studying for NVQ 2/3 domestic gas installation and maintenance. im 30 years old and was recently made redundant from the steel works after only 2 years service. i would like to offer my time and effort to any gas fitter/corgi Reg'd heating engineer in the rotherham/sheffield area.
i am interested in all aspects of gas work. full new systems to annual service to breakdown. variety is the key.
it will NOT cost you a penny and you get a free labourer for up to 16 weeks (4 weeks placement 2 in classroom 4 weeks placement etc) all i ask of you is to impart your knowledge to a trainee and help me into a very rewarding career.
please reply if interested to the stated email addy removing the [cut the spam]
So why are you posting on here? Why not go and see some local companies. I certainly wouldn't take any notice of such a message, it only shows you can't be bothered. You sound like another one that wants everything done for them. Go and call on a few people you might get further, it does involve effort on your part. If you can't manage that then you will not last 5 minutes working. Seen it all before with students.
What a prick you are. The guy is offering to work for free for up to 16 weeks and you say he can't be bothered! Would you work for free? I suspect there isn't a "free" bone in your body as evidenced by your whinging criticism of a someone that at least is trying to better himself. Why weren't you offering him encouragement and positive advice instead of being a sarcastic prat.
i didn't mention the fact that i am ALready on placement but as the kind gas fitter and i have agreed, he doesnt do the full range of work that is required for the qualification i am studying, so it is best for me to move on to another member of the trade. i have done the local company search but unfortunatley most cant help and some are like ian and probably dont want new entrants into the trade or are so thick that they cant understand the efforts some people will and need to go to to provide for thier family's needs. i Work 35 hours a week PLUS 40 on my studies plus work weekends in another job, sometimes 13 hours saturday and sunday. dont tell me about commitment to bloody work.
cant be bothered? when the hell would i get time to be bothered? over
100 hours of my week is actually when i am bothered. then i have jobs to write up so that i can get my evidence in to the assesors. oh and i forgot my partner works too so that means i have to take care of my daughter and find time to watch kids programs and learn her the type of things that most dads have time to do MOST of the time.
AND to top it off i have funded my training myself, bought all my tools myself and can still smile!
PLUS i am a 30 year old (mature?) student!
i hope one day ian you require the services of a gas fitter!, call me! please and i will treat you in the manner you treat me and most likely others, i will offer you for whatever problem you may be experiencing a profound
Hear, hear. The guy is obviously trying to get on in life and deserves encouragement & support. Just sorry I can't help myself, but good luck to you mate.
Curiously it's *le* Gavroche (unusual since usually words ending in 'e' in French are feminine).
Nice place, I've been there several times. Very good service - they even have a sommelier (or whatever the equivalent would be) for the different kinds of water).
Excellent food as well - tell him he's doing a good job.
I never have; they want fully qualified people. Anyway, give some credit for showing initiative. I suggest the OP also try the Screwfix forums. Some councils also have employability initiatives and it might be possible to get a placement with them.
