JOTM for new tilers.

[enduro]

I think it would be a good idea to run JOTM for new tilers only sometime in the future. The standard of work so far has been outstanding and maybe putting people off posting there jobs. What do you think, would it work?

Good idea enduro.rename it newcomer job of the month or something like that.with so many members there has to be loads with good work on even if its early career work.im sure prizes could be sorted.

What happened to all the talk by dan & dave about appearing in a magazine

I like the Idea!
I don't think that a prize is necessary - its being the winner (IMHO) that counts.
Prehaps 4 times a year each over a 3 month period - just thinking out loud!
Q - What makes a newbie.

 

[hillhead]

Has anyone been named in mag yet? A newbie should be 1 year and under but hard to police.get fred on the job.lol

good idea

 

[Prem Tiler]

Great idea.

I'm sick of not getting any votes!

But saying that theres nothing to say things will improve in a newbe comp

Good idea... But policing it would be difficult.

If there was a JOTM for part time tilers and window cleaners, Dean would be a dead cert!

Bit OTT there dave..?


An article was published on a winner...but previous ones have not..we cannot tell the magazines what they can and cannot publish...other news must have been a more priority..

I can see the headline now!


'JOTM -timeless comes 2nd for the fourth time'

I say we make up our own magazine/newsheet - forget about flat screens lets go back to printed paper - lets download a weekly news sheet.

Actually it sounds a good idea.

good idea

anything that encourages the members regardless of ability to post pictures of there work is a great idea.

we all love and are proud of what we do, sharing this in the forums is what its all about :hurray:

ps prem tiler -keep at it mate your out there doing it and getting involved same as me

I think it would be a great idea. It could be called rookie of the month or such like and policing would not be an issue as it should only be winnable just once.

I think it's a very good idea. I see the pics in JOTM and the workmanship can be intimidating even for a 'newish' tiler let alone for a newbie.
As TJ says, maybe only a few times a year and for any job they have done in their first year. Easy to police if they are regular posters but I don't think it will be necessary on a friendly forum like this.

Any new tiler like to comment, how would you feel about doing this. Could also be good for some constructive advice, and we will not to slag jobs off. Instead of a prize perhaps a certificate could be awarded to put into your portfolio to show customers. What do the mods think? would it work.
