I have a job!!!!! :D

[Young Un]

nice one !!! keep an eye out for nackered campag stuff coming in, my local bike shop takes campag levers in that people think are wrecked and its just a few springs in the internals and there right as rain...

work hard and maybe they'll give you that dolan at trade price

Haha, I hope so

I believe this American system of unpaid internship is fast catching on over here

 

[summerdays]

I think its a good move... they may offer a Sat job at the end of it if you have shown yourself to be polite, hard working and eager to learn or that they would take you on again another holiday but paid. If they don't then its something to put on a potential CV for the future. My 14 yo is attached to a computer...

WTG Young Un'!

You've got a good attitude which will serve you well, get in there and learn everything you can.
Well done!

+1

Here's hoping some decent freebies come your way......

 

[Gromit]

Well hopefully at the end of it you will get paid for doing some work. Don't let them take the piss. Just because you want the experience, doesn't mean you aren't worth a couple of sheckles chucked in.

This aint the 80s with YTS at £27.50 a week.

Good luck.

I didn't get that in 1990, it was £15 a week for a 9 - 5 job in my first year and £25 in the third and second. Got made redundant when the printing company went bust in 1995.

Anyway well done on the job, next year get them to pay you.

 

[accountantpete]

Try and learn as much as you can Young Un- good luck.

 

[RabbitFood]

very well done and what a good way to start will serve you well in the future

good attitude if only moe were like you

Good stuff Steve - something decent which shows initiative to put on the CV. If I were you, I'd advise them to move the Super Record display further from the door - you never know who might chance it and do a runner Those extra 10 ft might make all the difference!!

Are you around for the final Solihull/Shirley TTs? 6th and 13th August are 10s, 20th is a 5. You should to a quickish time on the 10.

Which courses are they on? I might be around, but I also might not be As we have a holiday home in Shropshire its quite easy to decide that we will just go away for a week or so.

K1/10 at Knowle and K36/5 at Wood End.

 

[Dayvo]

That's a good attitude, Young Un! Good on ya!

Learn as much as you can, get THEM to pay for any mechanic courses going, and when it's time to leave school/go to uni/get a job, you'll have a very useful (first?) string to your bow!

 

[Stig-OT-Dump]

Well done. Good move. Right attitude.

Pay attention and learn as much as you can. You'll soon be able to do "out of hours" freelancing, taking on jobs for your mates or people in your street and you might even get that sponsorship you were looking for.

If it develops into a term time Saturday job or Christmas holiday job, you should be able to negotiate a wee wage packet too.

 

[Young Un]

Well, I will be in there for a week starting the 31st of August; can't wait!

 

[mr-marty-martin]

that in the holidays or after school?

It's a great opportunity Young Un. Don't be late for work, show willing and be concientious and you will get some great training, some freebies and may get a good job out of. Keep us updated.
