Read my biography to know more, I am going to become a trainee electrician in september 2015, I am wondering, am I getting into the right trade? Give your thoughts below.

It is a good trade, you need to put the time and effort in to make it work for you though.

I see you're enquiring because you're leaving school soon. Have you received any career advice from your school? What study route did you have in mind to get into the trade? Have you been offered an apprenticeship?

Don’t go in to domestic work.

Don’t go in to domestic work.

Try and get work with a company that works in several different sectors (domestic, commercial and industrial). You'll enjoy some work more than others and it will help you to decide what you want to do after you complete your apprenticeship.

Try to show initiative during your apprenticeship - ask questions, volunteer to fetch stuff and look enthusiastic. Don't slouch around playing on your phone as you'll get labelled as lazy and disinterested.
