Lost my job today.
 
Hey guys.
As above I've lost my job today so if anyone knows of any work going then please let me know.
I'm going to be doing a plastering course soon but need something to tide me over in the mean time. Thanks.

I have two cars for sale as well in the sale section so have a look if your on the look out for a car.

Gutted for you, hope something turns up pretty quickly.

Phil 15 September 2011 09:04 AM

What do you do?

Paul&bon 15 September 2011 09:37 AM

I was a Supervisor for a recycling plant so I have a lot of training in that, IOSH, behavioral safety, first aid to name but a few. I also have ticket's for 360 excavator, loading shovel, articulated dump truck and a roll on roll off although these are all in house tickets but with 11 years experience.
Before this I was a UPVC window fitter for 6 years.

I'm a pretty good plasterer as well so I'm going to be taking a 15 day course to get my NVQ qualifications then do that for a living.
Just need to sell my cars to pay for the course & pay the mortgage.

Phil 15 September 2011 09:40 AM

Good Luck mate

Just for the record though I am willing to do anything, I'm not proud. I will draw the line at working on a travellers site though.lol

Hello Paul sorry to hear this mate, I'll keep a look out for you mate

Cocker 15 September 2011 12:03 PM

Bad times although it sounds like you are pretty practical - should have no problems getting into a trade, the few tradesmen i know all have work coming out of their ears

That's cool thanks. As soon as I've done the course I'll be in contact.:thumb:

If you need a labourer than think of me. I've done some good drylining on my own house (pic's available) so I can help with more than just Labouring if needed.

Thank you That would be good. Only down-fore is construction normally want CSCS/CITB cards not in house tickets. You never know though. :thumb:

CSCS would be a good idea if you want to get on main sites
Even if its only as a labourer
Also you need to be sure you want to go down the self employed route
If I hear of anything I will let you know

Self employed doesn't bother me. Been there before when I was fitting windows.
Strange though as I not worried about losing my job, just excited about leaning a trade properly and plastering for a living. Just need to get my final pay check on the 28th then I can book my course. :D

Here's to the future.

That's not a problem for me. I left school at 15 to work, I'm 36 now and I've only ever been out of work for a month. (Thank god) As I said before I'm not proud, I've been a bin man in the past & swept floors in a factory. I have my responsibilities the same as most. 3 kids & a mortgage will always get me out of bed in the morning.

Thank you for your comments, they mean a lot.:thumb:
