I apologise, but I've got to jump in the queue & try my arm to find some continuity of work...

I'm 39, live in Birmingham, but willing to travel out of town if needed. Qualified to C&G 2330 L3 2010. 17th edition (need to look at doing my update amendment) Have been working amongst a few Electricians since 2009, mainly Domestic but have had some retail commercial; additions to Power & Data supplies for store concessions.

I'm looking for minimum 2-3 days per week upwards even if it's amongst a few Contractors? May try my luck at getting domestic for myself to plug the gaps, but am not wanting to write off gaining the experience I'm after in Commercial/Industrial which I've been lacking.

Considering looking at funding my own paperwork for 2391/IPaf/JIB Card/17th Update.

Spent most of last year on a new build site, have had a couple of rewires of late. Really looking for somebody who may be able to offer some structure to get me beyond a Mate (caught in a loop amongst so many Improvers) & become useful to their business in the short term as a confident & competent electrician & see where that may take us? I have the right attitude to where I want to get to, what I've done to get here and work with the right ethic. Can provide references from Contractors I'm working with at the moment.

Own Tools, Hand & Power. Test Kit, Own Transport (hoping to trade in car shortly for a Car derived Van).

I realise there are so many Guys looking for what I am. I did take a backseat last few months with this, wondering if I could sustain the few days here & there, but I'm too reluctant to pass the opportunity of finding the elusive break...I've spent too much time & effort getting the grades to Pack it in.

If anybody may have something or would like to at least have a chat, drop me a PM. I'd be happy to have a chat if that's all is on offer to get some advice & direction.

Thanks

Andy

 
Same here Andy , sorry I can't help , very little work coming in these days.

Can I suggest asking wholesalers if you can display a card at their counter. What part of Brum are you in M8?

 
Cheers Guys. I know, everybody's in the same boat which is why I'm just hoping to find a couple of days at the least & try my hand at work I know I can confidently take on. I have fallback in the eventuality I hit an issue with a couple of guys if I really need it.

Deke, I've done the wholesalers cards in the past & I had no response. I spent all day driving around Worcestershire dropping off about 30 cards which everybody did let me leave. Will do that again, as maybe I might get something. I'm in South Birmingham, Harborne.

Going to do my 17th Amend & enquire for the 2391. Wished I'd just done it straight after my 2330 in exam mode, but felt even if I passed I don't have enough commercial/Industrial to use it, so held back. Cheers for your replies, I'll let you all know how it goes.
