Why are apprenticeship so hard to get?
I feel like I’m hitting a wall, I have applied for lots of apprenticeships in my local area such as BAE (which I know is already hard to get into) and Arnold Clark (both of these I have had an interview and been rejected). I have only had 2 interviews out of nearly 40 applications, and most of these jobs I have the right qualifications for or even have qualification levels that are much higher than what they want. Also, when I go into these interviews I dress smart and speak confidently with proper language to try and give them the best impression I can, I do have a back up which is college (I live in Scotland) which I have already experienced during school as I picked motor vehicle engineering which is the course I have planned already to take as a back up, however i feel if I take don’t get an apprenticeship anywhere I’ll be wasting my time with a year in college and I am starting to get worried as I assume most apprenticeships that start in September are starting to close, I really just don’t want to go to college and really want to work and learn on a job when I’m making money and enjoying myself. Please if anyone has tips to help my situation please comment, I really need this as I feel I won’t get more chances like this in the future.
