Christoph Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Go to your local connexions centre, they specialise in 16-24 year olds (or something around that age) and are usually really good at finding you apprenticeships etc.
dave_the_fox Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Hey Hey i came out of my time in 2009 with HND in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. I am now the manager of the first department i went in I work for Brush Electrical Machines in Loughborough, i believe we are taking 20 odd apprentices on in September time - any good? i could get u some info?
Bugg Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 i dont know how to do that link thing but these are a couple of things you've said .... Good English could help you find an apprenticeship though... You could borrow his dictionary. That would be more useful. not very constructive to say the least and if thats not picking faults then i dont know what is ... Whatever, Those comments weren't really serious compared to what other people posted. Look at the paragraph below and you'll see advice that I'm trying to give you. Read it.

dave_the_fox Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Hey mate i am in Melton so its a bit of a trek n all I will find out what's occurring tomorrow - don't let me forget though i am useless
Mee Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Go to your local connexions centre, they specialise in 16-24 year olds (or something around that age) and are usually really good at finding you apprenticeships etc. Plus you get a free Chlamydia test, for your randy ****ers (Jackirius and AOWW, it's free! ) Connexions help, but for anyone in the Melton area, never ask for Mary. She could say the words 'Connexion centre', and make it last 4 hours. Or text TESTME and your mates address to 88020 to make them receive one through the post!
Salieri Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 jesus i can spell apprenticeship, i didnt really think it would cause this much fuss. and yes i do want my apprentership now because i want on site experience, ive completed level 1 and know the basics so whats the point sitting in the class room all the time when i can go out, do the work and paid to do so? just trying to be one step ahead so im not struggling next year when the rest of my class are ... Sorry In all seriousness good luck with finding one, it'll pay dividends in the long run.
DB11 Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Please tell me this is another attempt at humour? 'Your', not 'you're' (you're is a shortened version of 'You are' and 'You are CV' makes no sense. Oh and something can be mistake-ridden, but not ridden with mistakes. That will be 'riddled with mistakes'. Just a small point or two, but if you're going to correct someone on English in such a piss taking way, make sure you don't give ammo to others. Lol chill as if it affects me in any way shape or form how bad his English is. I don't care. Mine is good enough, thanks. The post just here and your one previous are quite contradictory. There are grammatical errors, and there are typos. Of which mine quite clearly was as it's inconsistent with the rest of the paragraph and my other posts ('you're' was on my mind as you can see by the ps at the bottom)

I got one the other day through the post
Bert Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 your jokes keep getting funnier ive been to more away games this season than you have in the last 5 seasons, your the only joke here .... part-timer yes please, i live the other side of leicester but if it means getting the train to loughbrough or a taxi everyday, so be it cheers The good thing about Brush is, the train is right next door to it. You can't miss the place. I get the train to Loughborough College everyday when I'm on block release. It's simple enough. I'm sure you'd have no problems, especially if you've been on the train to all the away games you've been this season.

LIke I said, it is fine to correct someone's spelling, grammar etc - just don't take the piss like you did. Some people are just bad at getting what they mean down on paper - it's just the way people are wired. I didn't take the piss out of you, suggest you get a dictionary etc - but if you do take the piss, don't leave yourself wide open. People in glass houses etc... I don't normally take a disliking to people on this forum - but in your case, DB11 I'll make an exception.

I'm more concerned by the misuse of a semicolon on the drumroll sentence near the start of the thread, Martin Cutts 'Guide to Plain English' anyone?
dave_the_fox Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 Luckily for Ross there are plenty of jobs where you dont need the skill of "spelling" and "grammar" (especially where i work )
DB11 Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 I don't normally take a disliking to people on this forum - but in your case, DB11 I'll make an exception. Put me on ignore then. I've got better things to worry about than if someone likes me on FoxesTalk.
Matt Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 Put me on ignore then. I've got better things to worry about than if someone likes me on FoxesTalk. Who's hacked DB11's account? He's annoying normally but now he's annoying with an attitude.
Finnegan Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 DB11 trying to pick on someone else's intelligence. Fuck me, that's like having Anne Widdecombe call you ugly. Get back in your hole, Daniel. I'll happily giggle along at just about anyone having the piss taken out of them but I think if there are any people in the world who don't deserve scorn then it's those who are actively out to better themselves. In regards your spelling and English, though, Ross - keep in mind that even practical trades these days may have some emphasis on basic numeracy and literacy so it is worth putting the effort in.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 In regards your spelling and English, though, Ross - keep in mind that even practical trades these days may have some emphasis on basic numeracy and literacy so it is worth putting the effort in. What the man says is all true. Please don't get too hung up on it, but at the same time, don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't matter. Being able to demonstrate these things can keep a lot of doors open

Mee Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 yep dont worry i got 2 B's in my gcse english exams and a C in maths, im just not the best speller. cheers for the advice You don't have to explain yourself to people on here pal. Good luck with finding an apprenticeship
Zingari Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 is there a BTEC in electrical engineering course in Leic college that you could do on a part time basis to assist with your applications ?
Bugg Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 You don't have to explain yourself to people on here pal. Good luck with finding an apprenticeship No he doesn't have to. It would just be nice if he took other people's advice on alternatives if there are no apprenticeships out there.
Mee Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 No he doesn't have to. It would just be nice if he took other people's advice on alternatives if there are no apprenticeships out there. I agree on the advice part mate. My comment was aimed at when he said his grades - He doesn't have to explain himself to someone trying to rip his English .
Bugg Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 I agree on the advice part mate. My comment was aimed at when he said his grades - He doesn't have to explain himself to someone trying to rip his English . tbh I was ripping his english, but not seriously since my english isn't the best. Just my spelling is good.
vandamman Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 I am currently organizing placement for next year as a building surveyor and have found it a difficult process trying to get a reply from companies. I've finally managed to get a placement within the NHS. Your best bet is to send speculative emails with your CV and covering letter attached to companies or better still walk into the reception of companies and see if they can offer you anything. Remember to tailor your CV and covering letter to each individual company. Couple of companies to try from memory; East Goscote Plumbers - don't be put off by the name, they provide a range of services including maintenance and installation of building services. A relatively big company in Leicester. Not sure if they offer apprenticeships. Preece and Co Electricians, glenfield - they gave my brother an electricians apprenticeship a couple of years back, not sure if they still do but they were good to him. Lovell - pretty good training scheme I think... David Wilhim homes and william davis maybe worth a try. Good luck.
