Let's all have a laff

Interview yesterday, well established firm starting an electrical division, want to take me on as the first electrician and use me to gain NICEIC membership.

On top of being responsible for all the work that goes on, and obviously for other sparks once they take more on in the near future I will be expected to be on call 24/7 365 days, and cover the whole north of england.

Anybody wish to guess the hourly rate they offered me?

 

[i=p/u]

20 bucks
