Hi just a quick question to see if i could rattle a few cages, ive been out of work since the company i was subbing to lost there contract, i was offered a job doing surveying but had to take the course first. I stumped up £900 for the course which went well, passed the electrical part and just waiting for the arb part to be assessed (a great course thanks to all at BASE especially Ian Morgan). But now ive been told the company who said they hadn't got a problem with me working for have turned around and said they have got a problem now. I have made numerous phone calls to ask why but no one will reply to my calls, to say im a bit peeved off would be an understatement. Any one got any advice?

A nasty state of affairs, especially if you have stumped up £900 in advance.

 

It rather depends on the "nature of their problem". If they haven't got enough work to justify another surveyer, I suppose thats just how business runs. Self employment is full of unexpected and sometimes nasty hard knocks.

 

If they haven't been straight with you from the start, its not so good.

 

If you haven't been straight with them, well, there you go!

 

Thing now is how to move on. Are there other companies local that may need a UA5 surveyor? It is, after all, still not that common a qualification.

 

Even if not, you are still able to use this as a demonstration of your commitment to the right employer..... keep plodding.

I think the problem lies with who i was a subbie to and who they had the contract with, apparently, if you know what i mean. I just think its disgusting not to have the decency to pick up the phone and tell me what the problem is.

Not sure about your prediciment mate im sorry but if it doesnt get resolved keep an eye on arbjobs they seem to have surveying work all the time on.
