I work Mondays and any other days i have free at my Dads in the workshop helping out with anything from the basic oil change to sometimes a full engine re-build. I find that working as a mechanic can be quite stressful as you are working under a certain time schedule and not on your own car so have to be aspecially careful.

I work on a boat during the summer months, at the south of the island bringing people, food and agricultural equipment to the Calf Of Man. I find that in this job you have to be very alert and aware of what is going on as things can switch up very quickly. In this job I have also found that you have to be good at working under pressure as well as having good problem solving, For example, if you were to be tying the boat up and a rope were to snap you would have to act fast to sort it out.

In this job I work on a Saturday at a tackle shop in peel helping out with stocking shelves, stocktakes and most of the time I have to run the shop on my own as the owner is away, I find that running the shop alone is a huge responsibility for myself.
