Hmmmm, when I got my first job as an apprentice I would probably have

Who interviews them Adam? Somebody hands on or somebody sat all day in the

It's a daft question, really. Some jobs are a vocation - missionary,
teacher, doctor, etc. But nobody has a vocation to be an electrician.
It's just a way to earn a living that's quite interesting and involves
a mixture of mental and manual skills.

Huh! I had an interview at George Kents (remember them?). There was a
session where various contraptions with the working parts hidden were
held up before the applicants. We were asked to sketch out the hidden
mechanisms.

At the follow up interview I was asked if I had any interest in the
electrical side of the business:-)
