What do employers really want?

In this industry allow your employer to break you everyday without complaint! and you will fit in fine.

Good personal hygiene is also important IMO, there few things worse than ridding in a truck with some one who smells like they need a good wash.

Yeah this is a big no no. Some people can't help it I appreciate that, but if you're one of them then at least carry a can of deoderant.

On time with a smile ready to work and take the ruff with the smooth ie early finishes and late finishes. One of my pet hates is spitting and swearing when customer is in earshot

Thou shalt rake before thy blow.

 

It's amazing how many folk don't get this, usually ex office wollas not ex military like yourself.

 

The point is to take instruction and not to deem some instruction too simple to take notice of. Because then what happens is you don't realise the importance of said simple instruction, don't take it on board then do stuff wrong. I'm talking about the way you pile branches by the chipper here and such like.

 

So my advice is to take instruction seriously even if it doesn't seem very important on first hearing.

 

With due respect to your own past experience of course.

ha ha my favourite... branches point first at the chipper and the odd one in the pile sideways

Totally agree with that on the spitting and swearing thing in front of customers and/or neighbours . Unacceptable for me ..
