How do u guys get the work continous?? Only had 3 jobs since qualifying in June!!!! :huh2:

I spent a week visiting tile shops, bathroom suppliers, kitchen fitters and networking with as many people and trades as I could. I have a small classified ad in the local rag and I got my van sign written. Only had 5 working days without work this year and a waiting list of at least 6 weeks.

Just believe in yourself and don't be afraid to tell the odd white lie to get work, but make sure that you do a spot on job and the referals will start coming.

any tilers in peterborough area that are willing to let me work wih them at weekends no pay of course,
dont ever work for free that is just crazy offer a reduced day rate, how long can you afford to work for free? and how will you raise the subject when you have decided you should start charging ?you have paid for a course therefore you should be competent to tile ?if you aren't confident then you should ask the training school for your money back
