Discuss Best way to get Experience in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

You need to lie to get a foot in the door. Try it and see what happens

Well I done a trial yesterday but the guy after telling him what I’ve done, he could tell straight away that I had none to little experience. So that was the end of that so I don’t fancy trying to blag it. Rather be honest.
 
Tough situation then. When I started I hadn’t done anything electrical but blagged the agency and went from there. Once I was on site I was honest with my experience. It’s all about getting on site. The bigger the site the better so you can get lost amongst others
 
Go on C.V library right now put in 'Electrician' and then go most recent and there is a job come out today for Electricians, Improvers and mates in your area out today.

* Ring up Electrician jobs in your area ask if they need mates ??.

Good luck

I’ve done all that. Nothing come of it other than have you got IPAF or something else that requires me to part with money that I don’t have.

The site I was on was Owen Street job in Deansgate yesterday. It’s a massive site. Done the days work and then that was that. I was so disappointed. It’s making me think what’s the point if no one is interested. Also you can’t do a NVQ and AM2 without working in the industry so you will never be fully qualified. I think the only way companies are interested if it’s through a scheme so they get some money back from the Government.
