Talking to wholesalers is a valuable exercise - that is where electricians chat and exchange gossip, which the chaps behind the counter hear and build a picture of what everyone's up to. When I was being made redundant I happened to mention it at the wholesaler and he said, "I know XX may be looking for someone, but he's really fussy and a bit of a slave driver. Neil Y has just got a big contract and may be after someone too, I'll give you his number, he's a thoroughly good egg." So I went to see Neil and got the job.

Sorry I've rambled on a bit, but you get the idea!
 
Also register with as many agency's as you can for electricians mates work if you need the experience, make sure you have a cscs card if going onto building sites. If they don't call you, call them twice a day if need be as soon as they get a job in its normally gone pretty quick so if your lucky enough to be on the phone to them or they remember you, you can get your foot in the door
