 : So here's me, been in my current job for little under a year and a half and now that i'm older and wiser want to get into a trade. Seeing as i love auto mechanics i logically try to obtain an apprenticeship, giving my age it'll be a mature one... that's where the fun begins. Whilst the government sings songs and praises about the benefits of M.A.A's the employers still won't hire them, even the big dealerships didn't want to know about it, granted ford atleast said send in a CV. One holden dealership said that they do 2 weeks of work experience before deciding to take someone on, i mean.. WTF?.. I work full time how the hell am i suppose to do that!?!!. I've accepted that this isn't going to be easy, but didn't expect it to be this difficult with both dealers and the smaller boutique work shops only wanting young kids. *sigh* back to it i suppose. Btw, i'm in perth if anyone has any info they could pass on to me. : |
