I'm a student that has been looking for any job for ages, out of the near hundreds i've applied too only student works has gotten back to me for the role of a painter. I really don't mind labour work but i've heard many stories of workers getting taking advantage of such as high personal costs and many hours of unpaid virtual/in-person "training", does anyone have experience being a painter for them? Is this job like any other or should I continue my search for something more legit?
