Good luck getting that job!
I tried to work as a mechanic a few years ago, applied to Evans, Cycle Surgery etc - got no answers.
Applied to Mosquito - they invited me in for a few hours to see how good I am. So I got there early, before my actual work - put together a couple of bikes out of the box, fixed a puncture and a brake and other bits and pieces. When I had to leave they didn't even say thank you nor contact me later to say if I was successful or not. After that, my dream to work in a bike shop disappeared. Never tried halfords though. :]
