Starting a labouring Job soon for some money before I go back to Uni, what should I aim to do to be seen as an effective Lab? Thank, all comments welcome!

Do what I say, Not what you think
All goes to plan then..

Honestly in 20years there will be work galore! Just be a shame Il b knocking on retirements door..not many lads will stick plastering outAnother labourer left today,what's wrong with these lads.
Said he could plaster as well so was paying him what we both agreed two days in and he said he can't earn his money and jacked it in
The job is so much easier these days as well!
Exactly same for me mate Id be labouring then throwing a wall on in another room without telling guy he used to have a go saying stop doing that as I need to finish it lol..by time I was 20 I was going toe to toe with him speedwise and he said id be wrking for myself by time was 21..u get out wat u put in..Couldn't agree more kitchy the only way to learn is from the bottom and if they stick at it and show good work ethic they will reap the rewards. I remember being apprentice I was keen as mustard hudding on big stretches trying to get enough up on the board so I could throw some on. Somehow I couldn't imagine many being so enthusiastic these days from what I've seen.
Defo every1 gets shouted at..guy who taught me shouted at me all time and he used to always apologies at end of day..never once did I take it to heart..cracking teacher aswellTrue mate but here looking back thank fook those days are over don't miss the daily ball chewings either for leaving dirty angles and slight imperfections hated going in every day cause I knew I'd do something stupid an get a rallicking but again it's part an parcel of learning.

I did 45m2 split over two days! Got roped into stripping the woodchip off the ceiling for the customer, my plan was to get paper off the ceiling everything else prepped for lunch then bang the ceiling and a few walls on. But by dinner time that soon changed to aslong as I get the ceiling on I'll catch the walls tomorrowI did a good 30sqm today![]()
