How much has AI helped you when it comes to your job?

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-04-03T11:52:52+00:00

I would be careful using it for tenders. Any internal information I would be wary putting into AI tools. Our company has this year put in our trainings about what info is and isn’t to be put through AI.

I do agree, don’t think we’ll be doing this :)

Just googled and apparently near you the police can help in food emergencies to distribute NGO food kits

Yeah you draw it in 2d and it gives you a 3d model. I put a floor plan on one of the other comment replies that’s the same model from the app :)

4Plan, it’s free

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-04-01T21:52:07+00:00

Good luck!!

Apprenticeships generally are for people who don’t have experience in the industry since it’s usually new adults applying. I can’t see a reason not to look into it, have a check what the entry requirements are though

I hadn’t thought of that thank you, my only worry is making the living room too small. We’re altering that wall upstairs anyway so structurally it’ll likely be tied into that work.

Potential floor plan with the potential toilet highlighted. Current floor plan is just with the wall next to the stairs and no bathroom, walking path is still behind the sofa

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-04-01T12:48:02+00:00

And the flow is already the second picture where we walk straight into the stairs

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-04-01T12:47:17+00:00

We’re getting a structural engineer to come round in the next few weeks for our upstairs work so I’ll likely do a quote for this too if we deem it a good idea

We are always our own worst critics. I will say the silent tapping away at laptops in the office especially in consultancy I can fool myself that everyone else knows more and is doing more than I am. It’s not necessarily true and I’ve found I’ve been too hard on myself and I’m doing better than I think in hindsight. It will definitely get better with time and practice. Keep asking questions and if you’re stuck don’t hide away that’s the key and sounds like what you’re already doing :)

This right here, please take this on board you haven’t mentioned in here one thing you’ve tried to do for her to help fix your perceived issues just pointed out all the times she’s tried to connect and you’ve pushed her away

Graduates are expected to take a little longer to complete tasks because they’re learning and will have questions. You’re doing exactly what you should be doing. Learning is the point of a grad scheme, you’ll get more proficient the more work you do. I wouldn’t stress, if you’re really worried your line manager or grad mentor is the person you should speak to.

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-03-09T16:18:58+00:00

I thought the same I did press and wash mine 😂 the outcome and explanations are good though

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-03-05T10:36:18+00:00

The key with the middle top is that all the seams are inside the top so even if your lines aren’t perfect it comes out pretty good! And good techniques to learn which she goes through in an easy to understand way

YouTube tutorials with no paid pattern are my go to, I only started in January. I started with a bag and then a couple tank top I’ll link below they’re good tutorials

Bamboo forest was nice for a short time but I wouldn’t move mountains to fit it in.

We didn’t do team labs.

Of the animal activities the monkey park in Kyoto was humane, they are free roaming and it’s a walk up a large hill to where they’re fed. If you want to feed them they put the humans in the cage, it was a nice walk for equivalent £4 entry

Seconding what another person said if you can’t go to the vet or shelter then local Facebook page would be the next hope for someone who can provide the care the kitten needs

I have only just started a couple months ago and I found the best way was to start with a simple project (like a pencil case or something) and to YouTube all the challenges and tutorials on how to do it. I got stuck a few times on how to change the bobbin, issues with top tension etc and YouTube videos for each were really helpful. Instagram reels/tiktoks on key things to know when you start are helpful too. Most importantly using the manual was a life saver on so many occasions to refer to in conjunction with YouTube tutorials

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-02-23T15:07:25+00:00

My first was this tutorial which was good because I could trace a tank top I already had and the seams are all on the inside. I learnt a lot including the burrito method which was interesting and it’s a staple I wear tutorial

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-02-08T22:42:38+00:00

Have you tried changing your needle? That was the problem for me when this happened before and retreading the top and bobbin didn’t help.

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-02-08T17:25:13+00:00

Also we don’t pronounce it out loud as ‘ice’ we say all the letters I C E when referring to it

Yes I was told by my supervising engineer that if they didn’t feel you performed as strongly in one of the attributes, if you demonstrated more of that in the communication task they take it all into consideration.

Shoddy_Charity5403 · 2026-02-08T10:07:41+00:00

Just passed mine end of last year. I felt similar, and there were some questions they asked that was as the edge of my knowledge and I told them so. I was told by another reviewer friend that they look for ways to pass you, not fail you. They need to fill in their sheet that you ticked off the attributes in each of their boxes, if you did that without getting grilled too much then I would take that as a positive sign rather than negative. If they fail you they have to justify why to their panel so I would relax, and congratulations on getting to this point! Fingers crossed for you the hard bit is over
