Hi all,
Due to a car crash a couple of years ago alongside a close friend dying in the same week happened at the same time as my job at the time being on a 3 monthly contract not extended. I needed some time off and since have beenself employed as a photographer and pyrotechnic crew member however both are not reliable forms of income and/or seasonal. I am now faced with working in a dead end retail position which is soul destroying; bringing in per month what i was previously bringing in per week. I cannot support my partner and I am having trouble trying to get back into the sparky industry as I am out of practice and have my 16th edition as most recent. My cscs card is also out of date and I feel I am in a viscious circle of not having the money to pay to get up todate etc.
Has anyone else been through similar or provide any help/advice on trying to get back into this line of work after 2 years out of it. I dont have my inspection testing 2391 certificate as I am petrified of exams and so this is no help either lol.
I am 24 and time served and I am just hoping I can speak to some like minded individuals on this forum as I am finding it hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel and in no way do I expect a job to be handed to me on a plate.
Any help and general chat or advice most welcome. Sorry for the waffle...I guess some success stories of returning to electrician work might inspire me
