My son has recently qualified in wall and floor tiling, NVQ level 2 and is seeking work. He is very good at wall and floor tiling, I have seen his work and he will do a good job, the only trouble is he can't find work... Can anyone make any decent suggestions on how he could get started? Anyone in the Berkshire area who needs an apprentice? He has his own transport and tools and is prepared to work very hard. Will put his hand to any work...

Many thanks for looking.

I would suggest calling or e-mailing companys with a CV...

Get him to sign up on here, there is a forum sub section on marketing with lots of tried and tested methods of getting work.

did he work for a firm or go to college. how much experience in tiling dose he have? *

Tell him to keep checking the job centre website, there's a regular stream of tiling jobs that get advertised on there, a lot of agencies advertise on there too

I advise that he signs up on here. He will learn loads from historic and current threads and he is likely to find tilers local to him, that with some friendly networking could help him get started in the trade .

where in Berks ?

Get off his backside...go to building sites, ring local plumbers, builders merchants give cards out etc. The same as we all had to do when we first started. There is no quick way!
