things change for people and opertunities may arrise

 

im the other end of the spectrum... im struggling to find a worker lol

Shouldn't be that hard. But depends on a few things. Communication skills: when you talk to any employer. You should be polite and friendly with a extremely can do attitude. Appearance: look like a tramp it won't look good to customers there fore not enticing to employers, clean shaven, tidyish clothes: Wages/Cash: if a normal semi-skilled laborer is getting in the region of £50-65 a day you may have to take £30-40 to make an opportunity for yourself. My not make you rich but MIGHT get you in the door and on to better things. If your unfit...get fit..

 

Not easy to an very tough job if your unfit. An employer will spot it a mile away..

 

Phone some local companies. Knock on a few doors and ask for half an hour if their time.. Then sell yourself.

 

No such word as can't

 

Good luck..

I too am on the other end.

 

If you came to me and said "i'm honest and hard working, presentable, really keen to get into arb and willing to take a free trial" i would say "ok, here is tomorrow's job, meet us there at 8am and we'll take it from there."

 

You turn up on time, be presentable, courteous to customers and with good keen attitude, you'd be going home with something in your pocket and future work. You also get a good reference on here which is obviously most important:lol:.

 

A lot of the time it's just about being in the right place at the right time (which coincidently is Thursday morning near Cardiff airport:biggrin:)

 

All the best with your quest.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.
