Looking for work - Norfolk & Suffolk

[Idioteque]

Hi all - new to the site.

I'm looking for part time ground work until March '09.

I will be attending Otley College from Jan - March. I will be working towards all climbing & chainsaw tickets inc theory.

After that i will be looking to start my climbing career.

I have experience of groundwork and i am working a little bit at the moment but need more work.

I have PPE, full driving licence & car. I can travel within 30 miles of Diss/Bury.

Send me a pm with details if you can offer anything (now or next year).

 

(I have been told i 'probably' have work next year after college from a couple of companies but want to get a few more options)

 

Thanks - Alex (22)

Welcome Alex. Good luck with the hunting... Though may I make one small suggestion? A username that starts with the word 'Idiot' is perhaps not the best first impression!

Haha! Indeed - But if potential employers are likely to be put off by a pseudo name on an internet forum they're probably not worth working with.

 

It's my favourite Radiohead track by the way....

Well yes, to a certain extent but i wouldn't want to be stuck with a boss who had no common sense, personality or sense of humour (best traits for a boss in my opinion).

Anyway, enough about my screen name.....

I have built up quite few contacts and have several friends in the business so hopefully I will have some kind of work by next summer.

Agreed, but you only intend to be with him till March and the way things are at the moment if I were in youre shoes I,d work for anyone....Reputable that is.
