Going out to customer’s homes to measure kitchens and bathrooms. Design the desired room and sell the project to the customer
Yes I can design in any range including the intelliga ranges
I don’t. Honestly now it has been extended to 20 months there are a lot of modules that do not apply to my job role
When you have completed 6 modules before your first is marked, it leaves you deflated
With the Managers being under staffed and down to a 4 day week, the support has dwindled. I do get my full day of study, however I have outstanding work that can only be completed by a manager
As much as she can give. She has several programs running together with any amount of students, so understandably she is not available every time I am free and in need of assistance
I don’t
Yes but I am too exhausted to take part. My spare time is dedicated to myself
No
For a design consultant the working week is too long. The stress is unmeasurable and being reprimanded, by loosing your commission, through HDC picking error, or an installer not checking items or completing a pre-fit survey is harsh, when we have done our job and we are penalised for them not doing there jobs
Think very carefully as to the commitment to the role and make sure if you are not flexible do not apply
