hi everyone just wonderinf if anyone knew of someone that wants a first year apprentice to become a sparky, i have my oh&s white card, first aid certificate, i have done my career start in electrotech, its like a pre app, i have finished vce, and also if anyone is selling a v6 manual ute in Melbourne would be good :D, thanks alot

good luck matey! getting a trade is a good thing, once you got it you can then go out on your own if you choose to.

just wishing ya all the best mate, cant help ya with a job or car though. jump on to the trading post website, should find heaps!

 

[daniel]

thanks mate, yeh not much there everything is to expensive

good luck with the adventures. getting into a decent job is the hardest bit. for cars have you tried car sales? manual commodore utes are allways over priced. as are hilux's. why a ute may i ask?

 

[daniel]

cheers matt, want a ute becasue if im going to be a tradie i need to transport tools, wires n stuff like that, i also have a racing go kart ad its a pain in the ass always taking trailers, when i can just put it in the back, plus they do good burnouts :P haha

Maybe consider a van. Easier to lock tools away, completely waterproof and less likely to lose your license and viechle!

Plus they are better value when buying 2nd hand.

im with rus on this one. a van is a much better choice.

 

[daniel]

harder to pick up chicks in a van ;) haha when i get a ute i already have a big toolbox with a lock for it, and il just buy a hard lid

 

[Joshwaaaa]

as a sparky you will want a van, You will end up will shelves full of odd's and ends, spools of wire everywhere, tools everywhere, few ladders on the roof. Too hard to run as a sparky in a ute, and keep everything away from prying eyes plus it's a pain for storing ladders etc.

I don't reckon you will find many sparky's around with ute's unless they have a fully enclosed 6x4 trailer full of all there stuff. Although most decent places will provide you with a stocked van once you get to the point of working on your own

cheers josh, yeh i got offered a aprentership doing fire systems but i didn't really want to go down that track. n yeh as a apprentice i wont have to carry much around apart from spools n tools, untill i am fully qualified then il get a van
