My first Interview a little confused what i want to do......

[montybaber]

Just fir interest the expected salary would be in the region of £25k plus over time, so possible earnings of £30-35K

I'm not suure where you are in the country but where I am the norm is 30-35k before overtime so average of 40k a year

I have seen jobs advertised at 25k and always think 'who would go for that?' lol

The engineers were on more than that when I came out of my time ten years ago!

Im from Oswestry which is sort of north wales but in england if you get what i mean. I dont mind the idea of hydrolics and welding etc. But when he took me around the factory he was saying to me these are the jobs that need doing on machines like for example he was saying that machine needs and oil change that machine needs the extraction ducting fitting. None of the machines needed anything remotly electrical doing. And i dont want to change oil and oil filters i want to be an electrician. I dont mine fitting motors and changing motors fitting changing control panels fault finding on machines but not bloody oil changing.

Something i like is excitment in my life. Doing something diffrent everyday not going to the same place repairing the same machines etc. As far as i know there are only to big factorys that take on apprentices one is airbus which isnt ideal for me and the other is kelloggs which thinking about it would be awsome buti sent my CV and a letter but didnt get a responce.

By giving up an oppertunity to learn hydraulics alongside doing an electrical apprentice is a big mistake if you wanted to your electrical apprenticeship to lead to something exciting.

Industrial sparks with hydraulic experience are exactly what ROV (Remote Operated Vehicles- basically toy submarines) companys look for. Could have got your time out and experience gained then spent some of your career heading off to the red sea, kaspian sea, gulf of mexico etc as a ROV tech.

You seem to think that becoming a construction spark in the industrial side will be adventerous and something different every day.

It wont, I and many others do it.

You will see what I mean when your standing outside in -10oC threading nipples on conduit, or battering your head off ladder rack for the 5th time that day.

Personally I find industrial sparking the thing for me but its like all other sides of the trade it can become repetative.

To be honest you need to get a more mature view of work as if the view you give across in your posts come across in an interview then it may hinder your chances.
