Or both....

i'm sure you have the shoulders to take the sexist comments.

From my own personal experience, not in ARB but within the engineering industry, i'd rather have a female apprentice/engineer with an attitude to work than a 'road man' turning up stating how he's done it all at his other jobs. Only to find out he's full of 5h1t.

 

My suggestion would be to phone a few of the local companies, stating that you are trying to gain some experience within the ARB industry, and you are looking to offer your services for free. In return, all you ask is that they are willing to give answers to questions and give you the opportunity to show them you'd be a great asset to the team. Also, which would be a great addition to bring humor and break the ice a little, state that you would also have a stash of biscuits, and a flask of tea at hand.

 

i'm not sure on your personal circumstances with employment, but offering to be free anytime is always advantageous. 

 

i'm not sure if any of this helps, but just take this one bit of advice above all. DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!

 

Good luck and stay safe

As an ex employer I would give anyone a try but even if they offered to work for free they would get the minimum wage even if I terminated the trial at the end of the first day.

Apologies, the "offering to be free anytime" was meant to be availability. As we all know, ARB work isn't a 9-5 job and trees don't wait till 08:30 to fall down or lose limbs.

You got some advice from me about presenting yourself at the company in person,yet you are still sending emails and calling without any luck?

 

Could it be that you are a bit of a twat?

 

Go put your best foot forward ,put yourself out and show some pluck and dash.

All these things will work in your favor.

Just keep asking around and your persistence should pay
