Tim Mackey Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I thought being a joiner you would already have the planes you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 To be serious though - as I am retired I am not best placed to advise you - wouldn't go back to work for all the tea in china etc. I suppose its obvious, but a good CV, and hitting as many job search sites etc as possible is the only real way.

Tim Mackey Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Go electric man - its the future I am genuinely sorry to her of your plight Dan, but I cant see an easy answer - I guess you just have to keep plugging away at it and hope that one strikes the right place.

r6dan Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The answer is really just to keep looking,something will come up soon!

My wife writes CVs for a living. It maybe a good to have an independent eye look over it? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi Dan, it is very tough at the moment. A clubmate of mine was in a similar situation recently. Kept sending out CV's etc. Nowt. He was getting a bit down when right out of the blue someone he'd sent a CV to about three months earlier suddenly came on the phone asking him to come in "for a chat". Next thing he had a job. Some companies don't just bin CV's and do come back to them when they have a vacancy to fill. So its worth carrying on even though I can appreciate it must be downheartening sometimes. Hope you have the best of luck! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions please Edited By r6Dan on 09/11/2010 13:40:24 When you try to give an opinion on things like this, it always feels awkward, like teaching granny to suck eggs. In 2001 two colleagues of mine, returned to the UK at the same time. The on set about only looking for a highly paid job as a business analyst / IT manage, the other (same skills, experience and position before) did anything. He worked at a filling station at night for a while, then carried printers around and plugged them in etc. 18 months later, he was an IT manager, the other one was still looking for the right job. Can repeat the same story many times in a similar line, try to get in sweeping the floor in a company where somewhere in it there is a place for your skills, and in time, things could well improve and go up. Another thing we noticed that is probably taken for granted here, it is easier to get a job if you have a job, doesn't really matter what it is you have.

Suggestions please Edited By r6Dan on 09/11/2010 13:40:24 Dan, Don't get too despondent, it may be time to move in a different direction, I did. But not from the position that your in, as I already had a job, all be it boring and poorly paid. I think the secret is to make your self something different. There are only a few people like me in the UK working in local authorities, coordinating the asbestos activities of the LA and not as difficult as it sounds. I've more than doubled my salary in seven years. To top it off, I've just requested early retirement which in view of the fact that I had a heart attack earlier this year, and have had it granted, so now I have a very good pension. on top of that I've been granted reduced hours (22.5 from 37) to keep my expertise in house for which their paying me 2.5 grand a year more than my current salary at the moment for working 3 days a week, and their dumping a Hugh wedge in my savings account as the icing on the cake. So it may not be so bad as it seems at the moment. Do your P402 and 405, and you could have my old job when I go completely next year or some ones job like mine in your end of the world. Chris.

Big Bandit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Dan, Didn't mention their looking for an asbestos and waste manager for 40K to work along side me or my successor when I go completely, and with the same pension deal, but you would need a P 405 and 3 years experience, so it might be a pointer in the right direction. I'm on the interview panel and like joiners. Chris. Edited By Big Bandit on 09/11/2010 18:37:03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan ,CVs are good but nothing is better than walking in and asking for a job. it shows your not lazy and really do want to work. If I look for workers and just get a CV in the mail It gets binned. Even a phonecall is more faceto face and worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Lynock Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It seems like I have been working on this downstairs bog for ever, just about got all the tiles in place now and almost finished the woodbutchering so not too much more. What has taken the time is trying to get the first of the bedrooms redecorated and the loo at the same time, I wanted to do the spare bedroom next but I need to be sure the leak in the roof is permanently fixed first so we are now going to do our bedroom next but first we have to empty it which will take best part of a day to move everything out of there. May have a break from it on thursday and go shopping at Ikea, we left a lot of stuff behind when we left the other house as the buyers were first timers and didnt have a lot of spare cash and this needs replacing now, I like Ikea stuff because it is clean uncluttered design and always worth the money.

I feel sorry for any new members to the forum ............they'll have to trawl through over 200 pages if they want to see all that has gone on in the cafe. I must confess to sometimes looking back through the posts, it's like a trip down memory lane. Pol. Yeh well done Polly - and while we are on the subject of lanes, and memories - I hope you haven't forgotten the way to the big rock mate!
