Like a jobbing spark. Going around houses, shops etc doing smaller sized jobs. Part that I find stressful is fault finding etc, and trying to do the job neat tidy etc but also trying to be quick. Feel like I’m chasing my tail a lot of the time
Sounds similar to my job.
A few things I stumbled on,
1, Fault finding takes as long as it takes, sometimes you get lucky sometimes not. Plan your approach, be methodical and rule one thing out before moving on.
2, Plan. Take time to work out what your going to do, how your going to do it and what pit falls you may hit. Setting of drilling and running in only to find your route obstructed leaves you either starting over or leaving a rough looking job. Half an hours thought over a coffee will save time.
3, Don't be afraid to ask for help, everyone has to learn.
4, Don't think your doing a customer favours by saving them money. If something looks iffy replace it, within reason, all that happens is it fails a week later and its your fault.
5, Your boss gets what they pays for, if they could have got better for what they pay, they would have.
6, Dont believe how good people tell you they are until you see it with your own eyes, there are a lot of sparks who think they are way better that they are. In other words dont compare yourself to others BS.
7, Don't beat yourself up, there's plenty of others that are will do it for free.
8, Enjoy your successes and remember them.
