Florist News

Dear Trainee Florists,

I'm sorry to say I don't believe you when you all say you can't get a job in a florists!

This is the 2nd year running that I have contacted Stockport college and Rease Heath college floristry departments at the start of the years course to say I have a PAID part time job for a student, and I have never so much as had one phone call even after chasing up to make sure my details have been passed on.

Come on all you hard done to students who say you can't find a job, I'm waiting for you to apply!

Sorry I read your post wrong first time around, having a bad day, almost as bad as yesterdays HEHE

Believe me I have tried so hard, maybe I'll just move to Stockport then. I really believe I'm in the wrong area.

Not just you Belinda nothing doing down here either.Keep your chin up petal all will turn out ok.

So what actually is the problem are there not enough qualified florists, or do florists want more experience. At my college my Tues class has 17 of us, on a Weds there are 35, then there are 2 other full time classes of around 35-40. Is there enough jobs for all these florists I know a few just want to learn but mostly I imagine would want jobs. The prospects don't look good and I'm beginning to get a bit worried about the long term employment plan.

probably lots of florists about but they're all squirelling away in their garages and basements!

Perhaps they have to as they cannot get jobs
