Perhaps you should check the spelling of what you wish to do
A little punctuation would not go astray either when you are advertising to prospective employers.
bloody hell mate doesnt need to know where his commas go to weld a boat. give the young fella a go at least he is looking for a job not like alot of the lazy young pr##ks out there.
scott have you tried contacting any of the boat builders around?
I'm not sure what it's like on the alluminium side of things but as for the fibreglass side I'm sure if you go around and show you are keen someone will give you a go. My advice would be to look into it very carefully before you make a final decision as the fibreglass industry is no glamore job even in the boat building side of things. don't get me wrong I'm not saying that to try and talk you out of it you should just go in with your eyes opened.
I think the most important part of finding a job in whatever industry you choose is to show an employer you are keen and willing to work if you can do that you are half way there.
hope this has helped you out & best of luck with whatever you do.
cheers matt,
hey brad, yeah mate im not to into the fibre glass side of things. Currently i have work links searching for a place that would take me on. And posting here to up my chances. Agree totally with what you've, thanks for your concern brad.
Scott
I know there is a big demand at the moment for welders I'm not sure how this affects the alluminium boat building side of things but it has to be to your advantage i would think.
Scott and Matt,
Don't take it to Heart, I help people (young people) get into work and trust me when I say that a little punctuation doesn't go astray.
There are so many people looking for work these days it pays to give yourself the best possible chance.
It is good to see you out chasing work, but for your own sake put a little more effort into it.
I can't recall the number of people overlooked due to the little things, simply because of the amount of choice available.
It's all about choice, it may sound harsh to you guys, but the choice is yours.......take it or leave it.
I have to agree with CQHornet. Employers are looking for someone who shows they are willing to go the extra mile. If you are sloppy with your written word ,what does that say about your attention to detail? a prime prerequisite for anyone in boat building.
I'm not trying to be hard on you , just advising you. so you give yourself the best chance to succeed.
I owned a business for many years and employed scores of young people, Im speaking from experience.
Good Luck
Try pages 311-312 Yellow pages A-K. Boat builders & repairers there are a dozen alloy manufacturers listed there.

Yeah i get what you guys are saying and I appreciate your concern. thanks for the links rando. I didnt think this would kick off
Good luck Scott, go for it mate. Hope all works out for you. Keeps us informed.

It's FULLY SIC man
I remember all those years ago when all I wanted to do was be a mechanic and work on bulldozer and trucks. I used to go to a workshop ever friday night for 6 months and make the owner late for his friday night out with his wife, persistant bugger I was. Finished school on the thursday went to see my future boss and asked him what time I was to start on Monday. He said others were also looking to get a job with him, I told him I would be there ready to start at 8.00 monday to start. He never did tell me I had a job, never once asked for my school reports or references, Stayed with him for 2.5 years , he then sold up and moved to brissy and give me 2 options, go with him or in my case option 2, he found me a place to continue my apprentiship locally and thats what I did.
The whole time I was there he always commented on my persistance and said I was the keenest person he ever employed.
So my advice Scott
Knock on the doors, offer to sweep the floors, follow up with Noble Super V, knock on more doors & be prepared to take on any boilermake type work and do extra study and specialize in ali welding, may take longer to get into boat building but you will be more employable with better skills
best of luck
cheers
blaze

Some great advice here Scott and to your credit you are listening.
Please do us a favour and let us know of your progress? #It is nice to hear of someone with drive and even better when it is rewarded.
