How to learn quickly on the Job ?

[Nehpets12]

I've just started working part time with an electrician. Any ideas on how to learn as well and quickly as possible ?

Thanks

Hi Nehpets
Always be punctual.

Learn as quickly as possible where things are kept in the van.

Keep the van as tidy as possible.

Always return things to their correct storage place in the van.

If you are in the wholesalers and the goods are being booked out, don't just stand there load them up into the van.

Never stand there with your hands in your pockets.

If you are at a loss at what to do tidy up the work area.

Do not use your phone for personal stuff during work time.

Don't smoke.

Don't smell of ale in the morning.

Get yourself a copy of the 18th edition and start learning, quote stuff to the person you are working with (but don't do it if it annoys them).

Ask questions.

Have a note book. Use the note book.

Start buying quality tools, not cheap crap. The person you work with might be able to help you with this and they will probably be able to claim the VAT back which will please them.

Be clean, don't turn up looking like a scarecrow, be polite.

Good luck.

If you are in the wholesalers and the goods are being booked out, don't just stand there.....load them up into the van.

Assist with list making of materials, if you get onto a job and realise there is only half a box of grommets left on the van then write it down and inform the person you are working with, basically be helpful, be an asset.

Never stand there with your hands in your pockets.

If you are at a loss at what to do tidy up the work area. In fact, learn to be tidy in everything you do.

Take pride in your work.

Don't cart mud everywhere on your boots.

Do not use your phone for personal stuff during work time.

Don't smoke.

Don't smell of ale in the morning.

Get yourself a copy of the 18th edition and start learning the regs.

Ask questions.

Have a note book. Use the note book.

Start buying quality tools, not cheap crap. The person you work with might be able to help you with this and they will probably be able to claim the VAT back which will please them.

Look after your tools and the tools of others you are working with.

Look after the drills etc.

Be clean, don't turn up looking like a scarecrow, be polite.

Be prepared to have the p!ss ripped out of you on occasions.

Even if you are miserable try not to show it. Try to put on a happy face daily, no one really wants to work with a grump. Tell the occasional funny joke.

Good luck.

Are you as hacked off as me with all this Oriental Carp scam shyte we are getting?

 

[telectrix]

Amen to that statement!

The PC brigade are a bunch of entitled snowflakes who believe feelings are more important than facts, and who continue to devalue words such as rape, sexual harassment, violence, racist and ----.

The latest thing to get my goat is a clip of an exuberant fan in Russia who runs up to a reporter (live on air), gives her a quick cwtch (that's a cuddle if you're not from these parts) and a peck on the cheek. It's over and done with in a few seconds. That is apparently sexual harassment. The primary driver for this assertion is that he apparently groped her breasts. Well... one hand was on her shoulder and the other, whilst not ideally placed (a bit low), certainly did not carry out any action that I would consider groping (by that I mean it landed, was stationary and then it was gone).

There's even women responding to the tweet saying 'this is not sexual harassment' and they're getting slammed by the PC brigade.

In an era when the merest of accusations can ruin a man's life, we should be taking greater care to accurately define things like this. No one bats an eyelid when a woman does the same to a guy, but when the recipient is a woman... RAPE! SEXUAL HARASSMENT!

It's complete garbage!

In a word... Yes.

Whilst the ignore option does indeed make them disappear, when I do that it doesn't really help as if they've posted enough to push legitimate posts of the bottom of the new posts list, you still don't get to see the real ones.

Is the football fan running around hugging and kissing males as well as females?

Not that I saw, but that doesn't matter in my view. The claim that he sexually harassed her is based on the claim he groped her.

I read something similar on BBC. Whilst that particular incident, some might not think of some sort sexual harassment/assault, its seems the recipient didn't feel that way. If I was hugged and kissed by that particular reporter, I would be delighted. If that same bloke went I did the same to me, I would take a different view.

The BBC report also linked to a campaign in Brazil by reporters, who were or are subjected to similar unwarranted attention, to a rather more distasteful level.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Irrespective of what is claimed, if he is only hugging and kissing females, then it’s sexual.
Whether it should be considered harassment would depend on how often he has acted in this manner.
It could be that the groping claim has come about because he only acted in this manner the once.

 

[Midwest]

I think it just an assault, possibly sexual assault. Sexual harassment includes bullying or cohesion etc, and does not need to include an assault.

Back to the original question - agree with what most people have said, but especially listening and asking questions.

And definitely fetch a notebook and write stuff down. Nobody can remember everything. If I was trying to show people something and they didn't bring a notebook then I would ask them why they haven't. And then send them to the stationery shop. Possibly stopping at the coffee shop on the way back.
