Finished college in May last year. Started subbing self-employed in July last year. Just finished the NVQ3 a couple of months ago. Taking the regs (for the first time) in just under a month's time, will be done on 9th December. Once I've got the certificate for that, I'll get my JIB card. Did...

Nope. I've been getting £100-per-day recently.

Thanks Andy, I'll check them out.

Hi, Yes I've been looking, but without the 17th edition and more experience, the only thing available is Mate work at about £280-per-week!

I'm looking to sign up with an agency. Based in Brentford. Can anyone recommend any good/decent/passable ones? Thanks :)

Hi, I'm 31, self-employed (CIS registered) with 15 months site experience. I've got an ECS card. No 17th edition as yet, but will have on 9th December. Mainly experienced in office/hospital refurbs and domestic work. I'm based in Brentford. Willing to commute into London. Looking for anything...

What's your beef with Gazza then?!

Thanks fellas, Doc H, Could you recommend the best job search websites for our trade? Most searches I do end up taking me to private training websites or their affiliates. I spoke to the national careers service, but they aren't allowed to recommend any courses/training etc. Evans, Yes...

Oh, you don't have to tell me it's my fault. My whole adult life has been a series of bad choices!

That there was a massive shortage of electricians in the UK and that they were making £100k-per-year etc etc.

Hi chaps, I'm at a bit of a crossroads and need to pick your brains, if that's okay? Quick summary... I completed my City & Guilds Level 3 in May 2011, have just finished my NVQ3 (certificate is in the post) and am doing my 17th edition at the beginning of December. I did odds and sods...

The Bosch one's sold out now anyway. Back to square one :yawn

Thanks chaps. Still doing my NVQ3 so not earning full money yet, which is why I have an upper limit on price. But I will heed your advice next time I buy tools :)

Thanks for all your advice guys. I looked on the isswww site, but they only do the 251 (the one I think I want) in a set. I don't really need the impact driver and I definitely can't justify spending

Hmm, it's 1-1 between Bosch and Makita now! Thanks Matty. ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 14:32 ---------- Previous post was made at 14:26 ---------- Did you mean this one? - Makita LXT232 18V Li-Ion Combi Drill & Drill Driver Twin Pack | Screwfix.com It's a different drill I think. A...

Thanks Wozz, what about the lack of oomph though? I was all set to order it, but my mate (an experienced Sparky) told me it would be a big mistake.

Hi mate. I'm just a little bit further down the line than you actually. Finished my Level 3 in May. Registered self-employed and have been subbing on a site since July. My NVQ assessor came to see me a few weeks ago and went through the paperwork with me. Turns out I've done enough on that site...

Hi everyone, Just about to place a bulk order with Screwfix and I need some advice on drills! I do commercial electrical work and a bit of domestic at weekends. I've already got a 110V Bosch SDS drill which suits me fine when I have access to mains supply. Housemate's got a 36V Bosch cordless...

Cheers mate.

I don't know if I'm going to send a covering letter, as it's a friend that's passing my CV on to one of his contacts.
