" An Australian father has offered companies a year&amp;#039;s supply of beer if they take his son on as an electrical apprentice. Paul McVeigh from Queensland has put up the advertisement as his son has been struggling to find a trade, reports ABC News. The listing reads: &amp;quot;Free beer - one year&amp;#039;s supply. 50 cartons in exchange for electrical apprenticeship for my 19-year-old son. Local, hardworking, reliable, desperate, not a quitter.&amp;quot; McVeigh&amp;#039;s son Nick explained: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve been around and we haven&amp;#039;t found anything so far. I&amp;#039;ve showed up at stores in person and still nothing. [I&amp;#039;ve also] sent out resumes to more than 100 places at least, all over Queensland.&amp;quot; Though there has been interest in the advert, the plan has yet to find success. One electrical company admitted that they were unimpressed with the Paul&amp;#039;s job-hunting tactics. Christine Bower at A Plus Electrical and Air Conditioning said that he came into her office with the proposition recently. She recalled: &amp;quot;I just threw that resume straight in the bin because I feel as though his son should have come in with his dad, and I don&amp;#039;t believe that the dad should have to do all the running around to get his son a job.&amp;quot;  If the offer is accepted, Paul would be spending &amp;quot;a couple of grand&amp;quot; on beer. He justified this amount as &amp;quot;a worthy investment in [his] son&amp;#039;s future&amp;quot;. &amp;amp;gt; Woman resorts to eBay in attempt to find job&amp;amp;gt; Undercover brothel inspector job advert placed in Australia "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
