Ive got no job" No idea why I was let go all I can fathem is that they cant afford to pay me as they kept anouther lad on who is utter shite but is paid less than me. I was on £10.00 an hour I am a electrical engineer with loads of qualifications with my greatest qualification a HNC in electrical/electronic engineering, I have ten years experience working in factorys and all over the uk as a commissioning engineer for the power distribution sector. Now Ive been looking for a week and havent got a clue when the next interview is coming no one seems to get back to you anymore if you havent made there shortlists they just leave you hanging. Tbh since I quit working away constantley 6 months ago its been a nightmare finding work so much so Im thinking of trying for a job at Netto and going to re-train in anouther proffession(but even the no qualification jobs wont give me a shot as they look at my cv see my qualifications and say no!). Rant over sorry to be depressing lol
thats exactly what Ive done. Im also a commissioning engineer. Been working away for 7 years and had my wings clipped so got a job in a static role and money is shit. Been applying for loads but not a sniff.
