He might drop the bombshell and say I see you on TFF last night on asking on what to say to me.

I said don't take it to the interview he can leave it in the car, or are you expecting an emergency in the farm office,+1
Always carry your phone with you but put it on silent whilst you're talking to the potential employer. Also for me hoodies with hoods up and hands in pockets are big no-nos. And don't bulls**t, if you don't know the answer to something then be honest.
But they are jobs that need doing![
good for you, but make sure the experience is worth while....carrying bags or painting gates is taking the pee, teaching you how things are done is a different kettle of fish, just be careful.
Had a young fella helping for a few months, alas I could get out open gate drive through gate & close again before he'd think of doing it himself..... I don't have him helping anymore. Nice lad, just no go.We call them "gate monkeys" I like the idea a quick way to see if they think.

Obviouslywell then you pay the lad a proper wage don't you.
Thank you so much for all the advice, I appreciate it very much you all helped me settle my nerves and gave good advice. I went to farm today and arrived on time, I was directed to the farm house by a worker and met the farmer(I shook his hand) then he invited me in and we had a chat for a few minutes and he seemed really nice and said that the industry needs more young people into it that's why he letting me work, he said that I've got guaranteed work up until September and the impression I was getting is that if I work well and hard up to then I might get to work there while I'm at college(hopefully) . He said that he will mainly be with potatoes up to then and it could get boring, as well some stock work also but he said he'll try when he can to give me some better jobs like tractor driving, he then said I will be paid on a hourly rate and that I start on Monday and to be there for 8:45am and I'll leave around 4:30pm but could be later on circumstances, he said if it rains he'll try and get me do something but if not he'll send me home, I'm really happy at the moment and even if it is boring work at least it's a start and you have to start somewhere and I was expecting to get the top jobs, but yeah, thank you all so much for your help and I'll report back on Monday after my first day there, thank you
I was told "you have 2 ears and one mouth, they should be used in the same proportion" i.e. don't talk too much.
I've also been told empty barrels make more noise.Or, you cant listen/hear while your talking If any says that to you though just punch them.
Excellent advice. Always ask if you are not sure about something. Well done and best of luck glad your perseverance has been rewarded. I know how hard it can be to get that foot on the ladder, once resorted to walking round the Royal Welsh Show with a sandwich board on saying 'pre-college work experience needed!'Well done, you deserve it.
My bit of advice for Monday is, "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people who dont ask when they dont know"
Yeah, my dad said the same thing, he seems easy to talk to and that, so I'll make sure I do if I'm unsureExcellent advice. Always ask if you are not sure about something.
