Hi guys,
I'm 24 years of age, based in north wales / Chester.
I've been qualified since around this time in 2011. JIB Gold.
I'm apprenticeship time served, had no luck with companises since the firm I served my apprenticeship with. Mainly due to false promises and terrible money offers !
Now I've been doing this agency thing for quite a while, I'd say my electrical experience I've covered quite a lot, from wiring council houses, big megawatt photovoltiac systems for Toyota and now just finished some installing for Bentley motors.
I don't seem to be getting anywhere, its the same old ****, promised four weeks or four months then out of nowhere the dreaded no more work !
I can't start my own firm due to financial problems, but this agency **** really bugs me. promised the world and given a peanut, they moan when you have a day off but as soon as you're laid off or work is finished they don't bother to contact you or even help you.
It's almost embarrassing that I find myself begging for jobs..
Back to joining a firm I waited one year to join one company, and the owner turned out to be an -------, miss priced jobs so he thought it was reasonable to deduct my wages.
Anyways, I'm struggling to find positives, I like working as an electrician it can be rewarding and I generally like a challenge but since 2011, I have struggled to find somewhere I like or if I have liked the place its been very short based circumstances.
Considering abroad, actually I don't even know what to consider to be honest, anyone out there with the same problem or any tips ?
kind regards
