OP, have you heard of a small island down south, where your qualifications will be taken into account and your experience appreciated. i'll give you a clue. they drink fosters and tie down kangaroos.

And if I were 25 again I'd be off like a dirty shirt.

Lol I have heard of down south, but I'm moving with the partner that is from the UK so going over with her and need to make it work however possible.

to move to the uk and succeed in the domestic sector, with all the crap at the moment is about as likely as me seeing the queens T1ts.

So what r u guys saying then. If I move over. Don't even bother being a sparky??

 

[Guest111]

if you're young enough then OZ or NZ, I was going to go to NZ via a recruitment drive their government was having some years back,trouble was the cut off age was 42 and I'd just turned 43.Stay away from here,it's that bad even the rats are leaving.

You will always find work as a sub contractor, if you intend to start your own business though it will be tough, but if you are determined it can be achieved.

not on domestic mate,even my dog's doing houses lol the market's saturated.

Come over by all means, just don't think about house bashing.

 

[Donkeydaz]

NZ and OZ are out the question. Family and children ties to the UK so I would never go there. Sub contractor will definitely be an option. What is an average rate for a subby?

 

[telectrix]

ever applied for a job where there's 1 vacancy and 500 applicants? welcome to mainland UK. ( but if your first language isn;t english, it's not worth working. you get a free house, free medical cover, child benefit to send overseas to all your illegitimate kids, immunity from prosecution as you don't understand that thieving is illegal. why bother trying.

 

[Donkeydaz]

That's fine. I hate house bashing lol. Too old for all that...29 years old

 

[telectrix]

normal subbing rate is around £20/hour, but you'll be lucky to get £14. that's how bad it is.

 

[Donkeydaz]

Ok thanks for that info
