Qualified but inexperienced

[adam_86]

Hi

 

I'm currently in the armed forces and leaving in September. I've recently completed a Basic Arborist course which includes;

 

Chainsaw maintenance & cross cutting

 

Felling up to 380mm

 

Accessing a tree using rope and harness

 

Aerial cutting of trees using a chainsaw and free fall techniques

 

Aerial rescue operations

 

Aerial tree pruning

 

Aerial tree rigging

 

Preparing and agreeing emergency tree work

 

Emergency tree work operations

 

I'm after any advice to help me get into the industry and methods of gaining employment. I live in Lincoln and there doesn't seem to any grounds man jobs going. I have emailed around 8 companies explaining my situation and a copy of my CV.

 

Also I've enrolled in the HCC level 2 certificate in arboriculture.

 

Cheers.

 

Adam.
