Can you shed some light

[jamesivor]

Hi all I'm just after a bit of a chat and any help if poss I'm from Canterbury in Kent I've worked most my life in the tree surgery world all aspects of it I'm 29 I started when I was 16 trying to get a decent job with a good company now over the years I've worked with a lot of company's in my area and every time I end up being binned off for some joey with no clue in what's going on . Now I have my cs30 but have been using chainsaws since the age of 14 I work hard I'm polite always on time try and learn as much as possible from

The climbers and any one els on the firm with knowledge to share I've even done a days graft and then stayed behind until 9-10pm just to help get the log orders ready for the next day with no overtime pay but I still always seem to get binned off to be honest it's actually killing my love for the job

Sounds like it's time for you to stop putting your career in in other people's hands, grabb the bull by the horns and set up on your own. I have yet to hear of anyone binning themselves!

Get some more tickets - if you have been doing it for all you life you havent got the tickets you should have. No ones going to take you very seriously until have got atleast cs31, 38 & 39. Sounds like you have the experience but just need to consolidate your CV. Why not join the Arb Association? you will learn a lot, keep up to date with changes in the industry and it will look great on your CV as shows you are taking a proffessional interest in your career.

Maybe re-word your opening gambit.

Saying you have worked for a lot of companies in the area and keep getting binned off is not a ringing endorsement.

What do YOU want to happen (something you can instigate rather than a potential benefactor)?

[jamesivor]

This was just a post to see what people thought about it or if they had similar experiences not a hint for a job or anything it's just annoying that Joe blogs who doesn't know how to fuel a saw let alone run one can seem to get more work than I can with knowledge and tickets

[Stubby]

Get more tickets , don't say you have been binned of left right and centre , just say how many years you have been bending your back . When you say I keep getting binned of people will start to think there must be a reason ..............

Must admit that's what I thought and I don't even know him

[Yournamehere]

Yep. First question is Why are you, with all your experience, getting binned in favour of people with no experience.

Not being confrontational, hoping to help, if you can answer that one you're halfway there.

29 and worked most of your life in the trade and only just got CS 30, what sort of companies have you been working for and what exactly have you been doing whilst on site?
