A job too far!!!

[defenderjack]

why does it always seem like every job advertised is hundreds of miles away !

ive been working for a firm in the south as self employed for a few days each week but they seem so busy in what there doing they never take time to teach you a bit now and then . Dont get me wrong i now the trade is sometimes fast paced we live in a day and age where by people just want to get as much done aspossible but how are we suppose to learn any thing unless people get take time to give you a chance .

 

i got my tickets last year , and love the job ive done a smallamount of climbing for the guys i work for , got my own kit ,and a couple of saws and landy hi cap so if any one has any work in the south , eastbourne , lewes area that needs a hardworking trainee then let us no ,

 

cheers guys

you have to just shove your way in mate, grab a saw, be one step ahead of the rest and make some noise about doing stuff. practice out of work so you can show your boss that you can do it, this job is pretty simple, climb up, tie in as high as you can, come back down and cut bits of. i used to cut back overhangs in farmers fields just for the chance to play, so when i went back into work i could be a step ahead, a bit like homework.

well said , i found that i had to push at every oppertunity , it may put some noses out of joint but hey thats life mate

Get climbing in your spare time, as big as you can that makes all the usual tree's seem small.practice getting work position on tricky branches, and moving around the tree fast, thats all i did quite alot of fun with no cuts to make and no 200t getting caught up behind you! if you're not fast and productive you wont get a chance to climb at work, so get practicing then show what you have learned at work when you can and the climbing opportunites should increase quite quickly.

As others have said climb, climb and climb.

 

IMO a good climber needs to be able to see where he/she needs to be and sort out the best way to get there.

 

Most of the time, well for me it is, cutting big lumps of wood is not what its about its about mobility around the tree and thinking thats its your fence, wall, lawn, shed, conservatory, house down there!
