Since when did  the genus Sparkus Electrium  become king of the building site  when it has always been the  Gypsum Floatitimus   with his arrogant stride ,  his insistence that everyone clears a path for him ,   his ability to cover every inch of the premises with a layer of plaster dust  and his  unerring ability to fill in  KO boxes , making them undetectable to the  naked eye.  utthekettleon

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Hi has anyone here made the transition from Installation to Maintenance? Is it worth it? Is the pay better? I’ve always been on the books doing install and running jobs. But I’m sick of running jobs. But it’s hard finding something unless you want to have the hassle. So I was thinking of moving into maintenance for more security and stability. And essentially less responsibility. But I can’t really afford a drop in money. I’m currently on the  JIB approved electricians rate. 

The bottom line with any new job, career change, or promotion....

IS... Its NOT what you know but WHO you know...

Qualifications are important...……………..  BUT they are not the end of the world.....

You need to have contacts and the motivation to make a go of something.
