"What a Unique Thing"

We had about 12 interviews maybe more, different employers in the room at the same time, just like a convey belt, what a unique thing to have that many interviews, I didn’t have to get on the phone or do any work.

Paul Roberts

"There is a Lot of Overtime"

At the moment I’m working on the service side, we do repairs, there is a lot of overtime, we do callouts, breakdowns, if people get trapped in a lift we have to go and rescue them.

Tom O’Farrell

"Struggling to Get Interviews"

I was an ex BT engineer which was quite good but found myself out of work and struggling to get any interviews. Thanks to Rob, I now work installing new lifts in the London area and TCD even run my payroll while I was on a temporary assignment employed.

I had spent 25 years working in an office so lift work was new to me, but I do like the change now and am working for a company in Crayford.

"The Course Was Really Very Good"

I thought I would never find work being slightly older, but the lift engineer course was really very good and they put me with a local firm on lift repairs.

I am currently working in Chatham undertaking a panel change and replacing the lifts trailing flexes and everything else that runs the lift itself with the engineer.

We had over a dozen interviews, we had employers coming in and out like a rotary system in the classroom interviewing each candidate.
