Hi Hotcriscar the only advice I can give is get your cv out to as many people as you can, it is hard work at the minute , due to the domestic scene being saturated with new part p guys. no offence to you but this is a problem created purely by the scam schemes churning new candidates out at a rapid speed . with no experience at all, the only way you may get work is to offer your services for free, and even then you may struggle. I myself am industrial and commercial thankfully so other guys on here may better advise you .I often speak to friends ( domestic sparks ) and they tell me stories of how there can be 6 sparkies all quoting for a £ 50 job all thanks to the schemes. rant over! good luck going forward don't mean to be negative , but it is hard going out there.

Don't you think that is reasonable?
Personally, I'm fed up with having to compete with guys quoting on jobs who have a folder full of paper qualifications, but no experience at all. I had to put up with rubbish money and most of the worst jobs for 4 years before I expected to be taken seriously.

You are lacking experience and now you face a dilema, how can you get experience without any?

If you've done afast track YOU NEED to go back to them and request their assistance..........


This is a situation many new trainees face and there is no answer.

You can get an ECS card , and CIS tax number, say you have 2million public liability, all tools,transport. Then look at subcontracting as a mate

if you have part pee go for domestic jobs on your own...
talking to some builders wiring up extensions and kitchens does the job at the beginning.
