I'm looking to go part time

[Falcone]

hi guys... :wink_smile:

I'm looking to go part time at my current job soon if the tiling takes off (got 4 jobs lined up from folks in my work and thats just by telling people I just done a course!!)

If I went part time would potential customers mind me starting their job at around half 2 in the afternoon and probably working over more days than a full time tiler?

Re: Has your course made you or broke you..

I can't see many would have a problem with it, depending on wether you said you were a part time tiler or not I guess.

Hi there and good luck with the tiling.
I made the same choice and gave up full time teaching to "go it alone" tiling. I now tile for three days and teach for two. What I would say is that folks are interested in what you do the rest of the time and how long have you been tiling. It's almost as if they think you can't do a good job unless you've been doing it for ever.
My tip to you is be honest at the outset and tell them you may not be the fastest in the world but you work clean, you work accurately and that you respect them and theirs!
Let us know how it goes.
Regards
Jim

Thanks for the replies...

I have about 6 jobs lined up now from people in my current job so I'll have built up a nice little portfolio by the time I need to go round to "normal" folks... I'll show them that and tell them I'm just starting out and hopefully they'll like my work and take me on!!
