I'm 19 and eager to learn, but firms don't want to know. Goodluck to the future.

[dus123]

I'm 19 years old , and paying for my level 3 and doing my 17th edition aswell i have my ecs card and also my drivers license. I have contacted over 40 firms , explaining my hunger to learn and do well. But they don't want to know? and it made me think what does that say about this country's future. If employers are not willing to employ youngsters getting qualified themselves who want to do well and work hard. Those who are willing will work they say , it doesn't seem to matter anymore employers don't seem to care. Britain's lost generation 1 million unemployed youngsters and counting the future doesn't look to good. Thanks for reading , leave any feedback or advice would be much appreciated thank you.

wf are an electrical wholesalers there warehouse is a mile long, thats 1600 meters in metric. i would suggest you work out where it is, get yourself down there and have a look around it is where lots of the local tradesmen go to get their materials there is probably a free vending machine in there, get a coffee have a chat with the guy on the trade counter, find an angle and explore it.

Now that is a top tip.

 

[dcelectrical]

while you are on there send me your CV, when i get a minute i will look at it and see if i can make any suggestions.

 

[dus123]

Sure can i send you my cv on this forum , or do you have a email i can send it too?

 

[trev]

Dus you could make this really work for you, make yourself a sign saying "GIZ A JOB" (or something maybe a bit more appropriate) and sit outside there armed with a shedload of CVs.

 

[dus123]

I have attached my CV mate

 

[dus123]

I don't know if i'll do that haha but i'll certainly have a chat with the guys that work there and see where it goes from there.

I could be wrong, so please correct me if i am...

But surely you don't have to pay for the level 3 if you're only 19? Im pretty sure that even the full time level 3 course is funded by the goverment if under a certain age? Well it used to be anyway.

 

[dus123]

If you are under 19 years old by august then it is free , but i missed that slot by 2 months so i have to pay alot of money for this course.

and finally you need to sort your cv out, i cannot help with this as i left school at 14 to carry hod and plasterboards but i would try your electrical lecturer or someone at ardleigh green could help you out if you asked nicely, as asking nicely and in fact being nice gets you a long way!

 

[dus123]

Yeah sure i'll give that a go , there's not a lot i can add to be honest to my CV i have literally no on site experience.

 

[Johnuk]
