Starting a new job on Monday.

[Andy808]

After two years and three months working at the local petrol station as a "stop gap" between jobs while the job market was so bad I have found a job working on National Trust properties.
Pay isn't great to start with as I don't have any formal qualifications and all my experience has been on private jobs but I hope it goes up pretty quickly.
Also looking forward to a job I can get my teeth into again and not sitting saying "Pop your card in, enter your pin, take your card, thank you and bye!"

Barbecue coals: didn't sell it.
Screen wash: I ride a bike and find it useless on my visor.
Car wash tokens: It's a buy time machine so no token.

Bloody useless aren't I!
:mmm:

Good luck I have a relative who works for the NT........it's a steady old job in a volatile job market.

 

[Beezerk]

Best of luck mate.

 

[Andy808]

Cheers guys. I'm really looking forward to a job I can get my teeth into again.

well done, I did a Petrol station for about 5 mths- this was in the days you could smoke behind the till-

what Job will you bee doing with the NT?

 

[Andy808]

I'm not working for the NT directly but for a contractor that they use for their building work as he is skilled at the traditional methods that they need for their listed buildings. I will be learning how to do the various methods from lime rendering to lathe and plaster.
I enjoy learning new skills so this is right up my street.

Enjoy the new challenges and hope it works out for you
