Our Bricklaying apprentice Laying Some Brick

[@lioninwinter9316]

Jung is SO fortunate to have kind, caring mentors. The construction trades are not known for experienced men who suffer noobs gladly. Some take pleasure in causing suffering. That young man is getting lessons in brick laying, and also lessons in how to behave decently. Stu, you are a treasure!

I remember my brick laying apprenticeship, I was horrible when I first started out. Had absolutely no clue what I was doing but after a few months I was laying them like a pro, it went from a 4 year apprenticeship down to a 2 as the gaffer wanted me out on site more.. I'm only 24 and I'm a supervisor so I'm very happy with the progression I have made

[@manictiger]

Nice! Yeah, the first few months are transformative. To this day, I abhor the idea of using tape to paint. It's worse than useless, it actually creates another job: (removing the tape). F777 tape!

[@bobthestinkybum2199]

Hey, I'm personally looking forward to coming from a fine dining apprentice chef into a construction role. I am on the lookout for a couple of positions but would love to take feedback on how you received your apprentice role and what challenges were you faced during your progress/ what surprised you about the job. Thank you :D

[@brandonwoods880]

So refreshing to see you guys being so nice with him. I've been working in construction for the last 5-6 years since I left school. Started out with an abusive boss during my apprenticeship. used to work 6 AM till 8PM and get paid £30 cash in hand. Wouldn't of minded if I was getting the training and knowledge but ultimately I did nearly two years for him and didn't have much knowledge to show for it other than what I had learnt from observing other tradesman on site who would show me the ropes when I was left on my own. the industry needs more people like you. Enjoy the journey young lad, you'll make a hell of a brickie!

I was in labour work a few years back and man, the shit I got just for showing up put me off it so badly, but I'm happy this Lad has good mentors and not a few, greasy divorcies!

[@GawlJoey]

I absolutely LOVE how nice they are being to the new apprentice. They understand that hes learning and they arent taking extra steps to stress him out or embarrass him. I am from the southern parts of Georgia in the United states. And being new at a job you get constantly trashed, yelled at, called "NEW GUY" instead of your name. Its extremely stressful and does not help with learning. So yeah, good on these guys for training him correctly and encouraging him. Jang will go far in life I can tell.

[@OriginalRaveParty]

I've always had "technology and mind" based jobs, but the older I get, the more I appreciate skilled people who work in a hands on trade.
