Apprenticeship Hunting

[rice_me_up]

gidday.

im looking for a place in victoria (preferably near the frankston area, or a place easilly accecable by public transport...but anywhere really) that specialises in Jap cars to do an apprenticship with.

sent an email to Apprenticships victoria still no reply (sending another one soon).

im going to give various performance places that are listed here a call when i have the time.

anyone who knows anything about the above issue: if you could be so kind to pm me.

thanks all. James.

ring them up, there is no harm in trying

[rice_me_up]

true. true. ill give it a shot however vermont is a bit far for me.

i am in the same boat, but i live in the sticks. sucks how 2nd/3rd years are getting all teh opportunities; Bresciani are looking for a 2nd/3rd year.

[rice_me_up]

yeah. ive sent out some letters with attatched resume's to a couple of different performance places, but english was never a strong subject so they might read the letter and laugh

btw lebostyles: i sent a letter to hypertech, hopefully i'll get a response. thanks for the linky!

if u r having trouble finding one, just do 1 year at any old garage then move on after that

[Mulkers]

a few other places also have second and third years going

but today i got a call from a place for an interview, so hopefully something will eventuate from this :D

[rice_me_up]

mulkers: good luck to you mate.

tracid: thinking that will be the way i go about it.

no response to a few places that i sent an letter to, however its only been a few days.

theres an ultra tune near my hood that i have a good relationship with, so ill probably inquire there.

thanks guys. james.

Best bet is to talk to people you know.

My parents are on good terms with a few mechanics, and salespersons, and they were happy to help me out.

Also, registering with a job network like workways or cvgt or something can help a lot.
