Question 1 seems irrelevant, as an apprentice may not have the experiance to know the difference between good or bad tiling....
Question 1 maybe better put as..Why do you want to go into tiling as a career....
I wouldn't bother with interview questions. Better off trialing them for a day or two. Most important thing is their work ethic. You want to know that they aren't lazy, and you want to know they take pride in their work.. They don't have to pick it up instantly, but they have to want to do the job well. If the words "that'll do" pass their lips, get rid!
2 once they know what they are doing theyre off
i once went to pick one up,he came to the door with a brew,said 'i won't be a minute just having me brew' i drove off never to see him againwhen we did site work we took on many young lads to try and train them up, because good tilers were in such short supplie...
just getting them out of bed in the mornings was a joke, i even had one of the mothers come out to the van asking us to take it easy on him today as his backs a bit sore from yesterday...:mad2:
out of all the lads we took on only 2 cut the mustered, ones working in germany and i catch up with him now and then on face book, and the other i see in the tile shops, and hes still doing well for himself working on the sites..
A good indicator is the questions they ask you rather than the answers to the question they ask. If their first question is how much will they get paid, they don't get a start
They are a nightmare with bloody mobiles... So say straight off , if caught on the moby during grafting time then he is gone...
my lad is always on his phone , flipping GF...
He must really take after his Dad - 58,000 posts and half on his phone!:lol:
To be fair, that is something that needs to be ironed out before they start. Would you start tiling a job without knowing how much money's in it!?! Let's face it, we all go to work for the money.. I know if I didn't need the money, I'd never lift a tile again! I'd be off travelling round the world lol!
