Newly qualified plasterer completed night school city and guilds level 1 and 2 looking to get on with experienced firm/ company/ one man band for on job training and experience willing to labour on keen hardworker in the blackburn Preston and surrounding areas all help and advice welcome thanks
 
avoid sites like the fkin plague sunshine you'll just end up working with a bunch of grifting chancers with no pride in work and picking up bad habits and waking up every morning thinking did I really go to night school for my level 1 & 2 for this shiitt? ... that's my advice
 
Plastering is a mugs game. Under paid for the amount of skill and graft needed. No pension, no 5 weeks paid holidays, no sick pay, in UK.
You will not even be offered a start as there are so many plasterers not working at the moment.
There are a lot better forms of employment .

I did have the best years that the job had to offer. The 60s when we were paid every week in cash no stoppages. Huge site being built every where.
Av. wage £20 per week with plasterers making £50 per week every week. A 3 bed house £4,000. E type Jag £1300.
When the tory Ted Heath brought in tax stoppage at 35%. Thousands of construction workers left the trades or went home to Ireland.
