I never know if anyone cares but here I am...
So if you remember i popped a post up weeks ago asking for advice on getting in to the industry, the comment section turned in to a total sh#t show of
'Don't do it'
'Its not for women'
'you're to weak'
'Don't need women on site'
Etc etc
But anyway, didnt put me off.
I've booked on for my cs30 in 2 weeks' time (sooner that orginally planned) and after sending out a bunch of emails looking for work experience, a guy has given me a chance, and I had my first day yesterday.
He was impressed with my work ethic and hes recommended me to another guy who's offered me 2 further days work.
So actually all is going great, the guy I worked with on the first day was excellent.
Was happy to stop often and teach me as we were going and in return I worked my socks off.
We (he) felled a tree and I cleared the ground, shifted tools, ran the chipper and did general ground stuff.
It was a great day and I learnt alot and at no point did I feel my sex was a barrier.
