Hi Folks,
Some feed back to an idea I have would be much appreciated.
I will soon be coming to the end of my 6 week course with Technique Training and am starting to think about how I can now start to actually learn the job as I do appreciate that experience is a key element to this proffession, and although people have mixed views on the whole intensive course issue it's certainly benificial to try and find a job having gained a basic understanding and some qualifactions rather than having neither prior experience or qualifactions/understanding.
Having already read many threads that dipict a situation of doom and gloom when trying to overcome the 'experience over qualifaction barrier' I would be interested to hear your thoughts and possible experiences of an idea I've had in order to try and approach this hurdle from a slightly different angle.
My idea is to set up as being self-employed and sub contract as a mate or labourer on an ad-hoc basis as when required by any of the local firms or independants. This means that they have a service to call upon when they have a large work load but are not obligated to actually employ you on a full time basis. For me, I get to work with a number of different people which will hopefully give me greater understanding and experience.
Has anybody done something similar and if so then what sort of success have you achieved?
If you are running your own company/sole trader would you consider using somebody on an ad-hoc basis?
All comments, both positive and negative will be greatley appreciated as I can use this along with feedback from some local investigations that I'm going to conduct to assess the validity of my idea.
Many Thanks.
Rob.
