im registared with jobsite to and yes they are great at sending you out job offers but how many other hundreds of sparks are they also sending too.
i have followed up a few of the jobs and usually recieve an email later to say - due to overwelming response bla bla bla

it is tough to find work at the minute and any work that i have come across ( i subbie into larger firms) is paying below the rate

Sorry to but in guys, but are any of you on the books with the agency - Sterling Solutions??

We used get most of our agency sparks from there. Havn't used them for a while now due to lower workload but they had a good rep with the guys we had.

Sterling Group - the base for contractors

Ii was in this situation in the 1990s to early 2002 but please do not think i am taking the **** with a family of four at the time

i actually spent five quid on a rubber stamp pad and printed off a load of flyers sent the kids around various housing estates offering electrical and other household services. it was slow but at least we survived

good luck to you all
i will say a prayer for you all
