ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS (WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY)

Post by stewy »

This is a bit of an unusual enquiry, maybe someone out there han help me.

How difficult would it be to get into the leisure industry, working for someone like Gamestec or Leisure Link. I have a basic knowledge of AWP's and have been interested in this type of job for a while.

I already work in the licensed industry but, I would like to learn more about gaming machines, maybe do installations / repairs or cash uplifts.

Would they want a fully trained engineer or is there any oppurtunities for trainees. I am only 21 but I am hard working, and have never been out of work, plus I have a full UK driving licence.

I'd imagine going in as a collector or the admin side would be the easiest way, can't imagine they would do apprenticeships.

Jesus.. they pay pennies. Surely you have better aspirations than working for just-above-minimum-wage ? Mind you... if you were to begin programming some machines, then the posibilities are endless ;)

You could try sending a CV and covering letter to the company you're interested in. Find company details online and phone them for the name of the department head or personel manager.

It's not rocket science mate.
