BUZ440 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Mason, it is very hard to get a job, although it is something to tie you over and keep you going, does not hurt to give it a try, even if you don't want to do it in the end, just keep looking mate, but in Redcliffe, there is a huge car scene and culture, people talk and you learn alot in that regard, so i believe it is a good base for networking, and like most things mate, we all gotta start somewhere, but i need some tyres soon also, powerskids are killing me, haha so ill visit you good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madKE35coupe Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 when i first started fitting tyres i was on about 300 a week. not the best pay, but it payed the bills at the time. tyre fitting is a much of a muchness really. slogging your ass of fitting truck and tractor tyres for 300 a week isnt worth it. if its just car and small truck by all means go for it. also, maybe ask the employer if he is willing to take you on full time not as an apprentice, the pay is abit better. depending if you want a little piece of paper at the end of it to say that you can fit a tyre, i didnt see the point. also evan G, the one you were talking about in the first page that nearly took your head off, was a spyder rim, and yes it would have done serious damage if one of those metal claws flew out and hit you. i have been a fitter for over 4 years now, and i have seen some wild shit over my time. i also noticed someone mentioned tyre fitting being repetative? and he is pretty much right, you will end up doing jobs without even realising it. i don't know if anyone knows of the superior tyres shop that used to be in clontarf? i worked there for a while, saw a few rollas come through there. kinda wish i was back up there amongst it all. anyway this post is getting abit long now..

Sadi Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 There's Plenty of traineeships in Telecommunications. With NBN its only going to get bigger Cheers Andy I was a mechanic for 5 years, it was shit work, shit pay, and a shit job. Just started another apprenticeship in telecommunications, and as a 1st year, I was on more money than a fully qualified mechanic, along with easy work in air conditioning, RDO's, and I never have to deal with whinging customers ever again.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Its better than no work/money. If its not for you, you can leave. Everyone starts at the bottom doing shit though, if you show some initiative you might not be fitting for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason. Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) hey guys just to let you know how the job search went. I'm starting a Roof Plumbing apprentiship this friday, so installing down pipes gutters and shettings on house and commercial buildings roofs. Actually pretty keen for this, 3 year apprenticeship should be hard work but worth it by the pay once i finish.
