What Should I Wear to an Interview at LBS.

[Sittingduck]

Nice - well done BS!

We expect a progress report on how the trail week goes. It'll be like the Apprentice - only less Bullsh*t and more inner tubes.

Regards,
SD

Yeah a nightly diary of the inner workings of a weeks trial at your LBS!

Well done, will the CC 20% discount be applicable via mail order to us southerners?

Ok follow up guys.

Had a great time in the shop and have learned loads. I now have a job full time over the summer (to bridge the long summer gap between school and uni). I have been trained up on the till and how to deal with customers.

I have also starting doing some mechanic jobs. I have built a bike from scratch and done some minor repairs (considering my practical ability this was hard). Of course everything was properly checked by the boss before any customers left the shop.

The guy said it was great to see someone who was enthusiastic about bikes and willing to learn. So I guess that I must have made a good impression.

However, the most important thing is that I no longer have a Kentucky Fried Career! Thanks everyone!

Well done, the skills you will learn will save you a fortune over time. Good effort on the enthusiasm front - too many people lack this basic ingredient. I hope it goes well over the summer.

Congratulations Mate. Learning about bike mechanics from a proffesionall and getting paid for it cant be bad. :-)

Well done Big Guy.

Nice one!
Though I am slightly jealous now ..... I should really get round to applying to my local LBS. How did you contact them to ask for a job? Go into the shops and submit a CV or send them an email?

 

[summerdays]

Well done - you'll learn lots, get paid and have skills you can use after you finish there (and hopefully they will help you when you want to work on your bike too.)

Only thing is is ... is he expecting you to give all the money back at the end of the year when you exchange it for a lump of metal?

 

[Sittingduck]

Well done

Dare say that quite a few folks on here wouldn't mind a job like that one! Keep up the good work

Cheers,
SD

Well done and enjoy yourself over the summer. What company are you with? I am an officer with the 1st Hythe Company, Southampton and south west hants battalion.
