Well Paid work... Where is it???

I have 11yrs Exp as a climber and 8yrs Exp as a team leader, I have worked for Utility companys, Railway companys, Highways, I have 5yrs Exp working for smaller companys doing domestic work for individual customers, I have a vast knowledge of arboriculture and I CAN NOT FIND WORK ANYWHERE..

I am willing to re-locate anywhere in the UK and even abroad to find a well paid job. I have contacted a few companys down south and even they dont want to pay well..

Seems most of the companys out there are looking for young, freshly trained climbers who will work for peanuts to get their foot in the door... I CANT AND WONT WORK FOR A LOW WAGE.

I am getting nowhere, im getting fed-up of trying and am now considering learning a new trade which I really dont want to do because I love working with trees and because its something im really good at..can anybody PLEASE steer me in the right direction to find a well paid job...

OR,, if you are an employer who pays well, Give me the opportunity to show you my ability, I will travel anywhere in the UK to one of your site's, I will do a full days work trial for you for FREE... You will not be disapointed..

Keep an eye open for local authorities Brodie.

Sign of the times I'm afraid. Maybe you should lower your expectations.

what do you consider well paid???

Depends on the circumstances.. If it's local or if im supplied a vehicle to travel with I would be happy with about £80 per day after tax... If I have to re-locate I would want about £100 - £130 per day.. If I was to move abroad then thats dependent on living costs in that country..

when i work for mick its £20 a day and if i dont sweeep up properly i get the 441 in the back of the legs

all jokes a side, maybe you should consider freelancing, if you expect top wack money you wont find it on the books with a company, look at being self employed.

keep chasing though, persistance does pay off.good luck fella

Why not follow the Jersey lead in the employment section?

You read my mind Phil, I was just about to say to Brodie try freelancing.

Things look like they are going to be a bit lean this summer. I know a lot of companies were 'biting the bullet' last year, but I'm finding this year a lot harder. Good luck and keep going mate, something will turn up:thumbup1:
