why is it soo hard to find a job these day !!?

 

im at college and its a nitemare trying to get two days a week !!

If it's arb work you are after, I think you have answered your own question.

You are at college (ie not yet qualified) and can only work two days (fixed days i presume) a week.

If it's non arb work you are after just to get money - there are plenty of part time / evening jobs.

 

Also, I would advise downloading a spellchecker add-on for your internet browser.

You may want to do tree work outside of college, but if your wanting to earn £££ take any job. Just before i started college i started working for m&s 40hrs a wk, also my 2nd boy was born a week before i started the job. On top of that was the college work and then i went looking /doing ,garden clearance/hedge trimming jobs anything for the extra ££ and experience and save for saws and climbing kit.

 

So dont be fussy about what job you have, go to friends of family etc start there and let word of mouth take over whilst asking around other local firms or charities

cheers for the advice !! like you said, anything is better than nothing !!

[jimbob100]

why a spell-checker ??

[alex_m]

Sorry, just noticed a couple of mistakes your original post. Emailing/messaging potential employers with spelling errors is always a bad look.

 

Have you phoned every company within a reasonable commuting distance?

Thats it bud, before you've finished college carry on looking for jobs sending out cv's so that you may have a job lined up.

 

Believe me i didn't want to work at m&s, but i did it to support my growing family. Its easier to find a job whilst your in one, than when you haven't.

 

Maybe a hard pill to swallow etc but if your wanting the £££ to get you new gear or take you places, take what is out there and don't be fussy and just sit on your ass.

 

Good luck bud and update us with the good news

oh, i see !, pretty much mate, there are a few gardening services that I'm on the case with now ! The problem that I've got is when i ask about, they say i need more experience or tickets but how will i get it if they wont take me on !

I always thought that it was supposed to be bad internet etiquette to comment on peoples spelling but what Alex was referring to was "nightmare" and maybe a few other grammatical errors.

Don't worry about it, everyone knows what you meant.

 

I would at least get your chainsaw ticket otherwise your only good for dragging. Also ask firms if you can do a short spell of voluntary work for them. They may well keep you on afterwards if they like you.

I presume colleges tell their pupils before they enroll that there arent actually any job in tree work these days?

 

No?

 

What a surprise!
