hi guys.nearly comin to the end of me 8 week c&g,done a few private jobs in last couplo years and am hopin to join a firm or such as soon as ive finished.As well as this tho,ive had some cards made up which im gonna leave round some convenient places to attract jobs that i can do meself in spare time.I was wonderin tho if any of you ask for a deposit before you start a job?and if so,how much,10%,50%, or is it a no no?i intend on givin the customer a quote,breaking it down,showin cost of materials etc.Would i be out of order to ask for monies for materials in advance.....lots of questions!!!Am askin, as with the cost of the course(and not working while im doin it!),a house move,baby on the way,all this has skinted me out and id be gutted if i had to turn down any work.Dont get me wrong,if job just needed few beads n few bags of multi id be ok but if it was more..........your views always appreciated
