Work experience!

[Nikk]

Hi all , tried in vain to get a days experience with a tree company, but flat turn down as there insurance won't allow it !

 

I am wondering if I could use my 10 million policy cover to use for a days experience?

[Mark Bolam]

No you can't Nikk, but most companies insurance WILL cover you.

Just keep trying.

Sounds like bs.

How old are you Nikk? , we have met with a brick wall trying to take on a 16 yr old apprentice . It appears tree surgery and marine engineering is a no go with insurance companies .

[Mark Bolam]

Yes and no Billy.

It would be if I said it (and I have!), but years ago I did two weeks WE with the Oxford City Council and my mate who was a manager there had to tweak their policy before I started.

I remember being 53 . Good it was

Wonder if the 53 bit is putting people off?

 

However some of the hardest working blokes I know are knocking or over sixty. Longevity of career is the only issue as for setting someone on at that age though especially if new to it.
