An apprentice electrician who took his hunt for work to the side of the Princes Highway looks set to be employed all thanks to a few 3AW Breakfast listeners.

Elliott is a third-year apprentice in need of some work. He’s got a car, and all the tools, but no job.

Rather than wait for something to come up, he did something about it and crushed a few stereotypes about young workers in the process.

He’s been standing in the freezing cold on the Princes Highway with a sign each morning in the hope of landing a job.

Ross and John were informed of this by a listener and decided to help. 

The switchboard soon lit up with possible opportunities.

‘Thanks guys, appreciate it,’ Elliott said.
