How to learn quickly on the Job ?

[Nehpets12]

I've just started working part time with an electrician. Any ideas on how to learn as well and quickly as possible ?

Thanks

It depends on what you are hoping to learn.

Look and listen, keep your mobile switched off and make sure your brews are spot on.

I think the thing is when you are shown something you retain it. There is no way of learning faster than that. If you do not pay attention and do not show an interest then the chances of retention of the task method will not be effective.

Depends on the scope of work you want to learn about, your background, and the type of work you are doing in your part time role.

Some would say that we are always learning ......it never ends, like the endless, seemingly pointless changes to BS 7671

make sure the glass hammer is nice a tidy in the tool box and the left hand screw driver is to hand.

Look, listen and learn and take note of what LPF said.

Ask questions, mainly ask your Electrician if he / She minds you asking questions, if he / She is any good he / She won't mind.

I'm still learning about things I've forgotten learning about.

Ask questions, mainly ask your Electrician if they mind you asking questions, if they are any good they won't mind.

There.... removed all that political correctness for you

Well done, cock.

Well done, cock.

Actually,it should be cock/hen. Which is cock,stroke hen...but we can't say that either.

I find that i am genuinely looking forward to the part of my life,where,like my great aunt Lily,you know there are only a handful of summers left,and you just do not care what others think of your immediate thought-to-speech process.

A time when you can be in a queue,in a Tesco in Warrington,and look the woman in front,up and down,and actually ask her ...."Why do you wear those leggings,when yours bottom is so big?..."

Terrible....yet so fondly remembered

Thanks for that SC, I stand admonished for my lack of PC, won't happen again, promise.

I was once asked "do you have the time on yer, cock?" I replied "no, it's on my wrist like everyone else!

Hi Nehpets
Always be punctual.

Learn as quickly as possible where things are kept in the van.

Keep the van as tidy as possible.

Always return things to their correct storage place in the van.

If you are in the wholesalers and the goods are being booked out, don't just stand there load them up into the van.

Never stand there with your hands in your pockets.

If you are at a loss at what to do tidy up the work area.

Do not use your phone for personal stuff during work time.

Don't smoke.

Don't smell of ale in the morning.

Get yourself a copy of the 18th edition and start learning, quote stuff to the person you are working with (but don't do it if it annoys them).

Ask questions.

Have a note book. Use the note book.

Start buying quality tools, not cheap crap. The person you work with might be able to help you with this and they will probably be able to claim the VAT back which will please them.

Be clean, don't turn up looking like a scarecrow, be polite.

Good luck.

If you are in the wholesalers and the goods are being booked out, don't just stand there.....load them up into the van.

Assist with list making of materials, if you get onto a job and realise there is only half a box of grommets left on the van then write it down and inform the person you are working with, basically be helpful, be an asset.

Never stand there with your hands in your pockets.

If you are at a loss at what to do tidy up the work area. In fact, learn to be tidy in everything you do.

Take pride in your work.

Don't cart mud everywhere on your boots.

Do not use your phone for personal stuff during work time.

Don't smoke.

Don't smell of ale in the morning.

Get yourself a copy of the 18th edition and start learning the regs.

Ask questions.

Have a note book. Use the note book.

Start buying quality tools, not cheap crap. The person you work with might be able to help you with this and they will probably be able to claim the VAT back which will please them.

Look after your tools and the tools of others you are working with.

Look after the drills etc.

Be clean, don't turn up looking like a scarecrow, be polite.

Be prepared to have the p!ss ripped out of you on occasions.

Even if you are miserable try not to show it. Try to put on a happy face daily, no one really wants to work with a grump. Tell the occasional funny joke.

Good luck.

BS7671 is unfortunately, what we have to work to.
