http://www.mcdcareers.co.uk/html/apply.htm <--this one will be more suited to your abilities


http://www.bigissue.com/magazinesite/vendors.html <-- this one may be a bit too technically involved for you though

 

no thanks

 

there arent many jobs out there at the mo-anywhere.

my local paper used to have 5/6 pages of jobs every week-lucky if there are 2 pages at mo.

 

I went to college with rostill2007 and im in the same situation atm. hate not being able to do what i want to do. Im also in birmingham

 

shit ennit

 

Do you have a full drivers licence?

 

only kiddin mate.

had a mate who was out of work for 5 months since being laid off.

best thing to do is to just approach companies direct and ask for application forms/vacancies, dont waste your time with agencies.

 

no not yet got my test dec 17 though

 

have approached a few local to me an got told theres no point with out experience

 

Thats what i keep getting told

 

If you pass, go to www.mouchel.com

Usually plenty of jobs going, not in the motor trade though but in a largely recession proof industry.

voted 16th in the top 100 companies to work for too (dunno how )

 

ok thanks for that

 

There will be jobs that don't require a licence too possibly, it's worth sending your CV to us and if there's summat available we'll be in touch!

 

need to make a cv first then do i just send to the e-mail address on the site

 

have a search here;
http://www.mouchel.com/careers/vacan...h/default.aspx

See if there's anything you may be interested in and apply, or just send your CV to careers@mouchel.com and let them know you're looking for work.

 

ok will do

 

you looked into / or for apprenticeships in enginering?

 

dont know any where thats does them (work placements)

 

There will be Apprenticeships and HND's etc on that site i'd have thought (sorry i haven't looked through it.)

Best of luck with the search though, i'd steer clear of the motor trade personally though...it's dying a death!

 

thats not a good thing then just wasted 2 years at college on it wanted to go to ocvc an do a motorsport course what trade should i be going into then

 

Motorsport would be a good area i'd have thought, but it's probably tough as lots of people want to do it!

I work in the Water Industry which is fairly recession proof and i'm not at any risk whatsoever at the moment of losing my job.

Car Sales, Parts Manufacture or anything like that will still be slowing down for a while.

But it may take an upturn...i'm not an expert so probably not the best to advise.

 

what sort work do you have to do in the water industry then anything challenging interests me hence why i wanted to do motorsport

 

There are literally thousands of different jobs, loads of engineering jobs that require Degree level skills and qualifications.

It depends what interests you really....

I'm in the Leakage/Networks sector and i really enjoy it....our company works in loads of different areas though like highways and rail for instance.

We're defo a company to enhance your abilities though, there are also careers abroad in places like North America/Dubai/Australia.

 

what qualifications do i need for that then im getting more and more interested
