Hi all
I qualified about a year ago and have applied for gas safe jobs to all the big and small companies within 50 miles. I must of written around well over 100 letters. Not one person has replied except one agency who suggested I work for free for a couple of years installing meters. Its really depressing.
The only way I can see I will gain experience is to go self employed. The cost of starting is as follows :
Van £3000, Tools (inc flue gas analyser) £1500, Gas safe £450, liab ins £350, tax on van £200, marketing and stationary £300. In all the best part of 6K and that's not including the initial training and future 5 yearly retakes.
My question is I'm I wasting my time and chucking good money after bad and what should I do ?
Thanks for your time
