Ultimately the tl:dr is, show your interest, prove you know what you're getting into and work hard. Print it out, put it in a nice folder etc. Just a couple of photos on your phone in a folder or even go all out and make yourself a portfolio. ![]() If you've got some kind of evidence of previous watch work you've done then that's great. Too many people get screwed but companies trying to save money by hiring apprentices but not actually signing them up for formal training. Word of warning though once you're out of probation make sure they sign you up. This is completely normal it's just to make sure we don't waste time signing you up and then you leave. On that note most employers have a minimum 3 month probation period before they'll officially sign you up with an agency. You also have to understand that people are taking a risk with you, ultimately you can show up keen and full of beans but if you get 3 months in and go oh this isn't for me then quit that's 3 months of training wasted. ![]() You're not expected to know anything as a 1st year but that means people treat you as such. Do you know what you're signing up for? It's a 4 year commitment, the wages are below the standard minimum and you'll be treated like a moron by everyone probably for your 1st year unless you show a lot of promise. A great skill to have that many watchmakers lack, customer service.Ī huge one for hiring apprentices. If you've got some job experience just find ways to link it to watchmaking as a profession. I won't assume how old you are but if you're just out of school and you don't have any job experience then some good marks in anything mechanical is helpful but not necessary. No prerequisite knowledge needed just enthusiasm and willingness to learn. ![]()
