i didnt find a shop that would hire me until almost 2 years after i finished the course at vcc. Now ive been working in a shop for half a year and i recently asked my boss if he could sign me up as an apprentice and he said yes!

it's really difficult to get hired if you have no experience working in a shop before and the shops seem to not really care that much if you did the schooling. But once you find a shop thats willing to give you a chance then it'll be easier from there because any experience is better than none. for example, the shop that finally hired me i worked there for a month but they had to let me go because i was too green, but after that i found another shop that hired me within a week. But working on cars at home experience doesn't count.
