Hi Guys,
Im a recently qualified electrician (full apprenticeship) working for a small local firm doing mostly domestic work with a bit more chucked in. Also booked in to take my 2391 soon. Im slightly older than your average apprentice and very keen to push myself forward, both professionally and financially. My workload at the moment is limited to my employer and small PJs. Any larger amount of work I get offered is very hard to take on myself/sign off etc. Im keen to push myself and work longer hours as we all need to pay the bills/save etc.
Im thinking about joining some agencies for work, mainly for money reasons but also to gain some different experience. If it is feasible I would be self employed at the same time, hopefully getting work with others/for myself. I appreciate work is not a guarantee but you have to try these things. Can anyone advise me if this is a wise move, and also if combining the two is possible? Im looking into costs of setting myself up including tools, transport etc and importantly what tickets do you need to get a look in at agencies so any help on these would be much appreciated too.
Thanks for your time guys
