Well ArbGarry, you got the right attitude! keep plugging away, I'm sure someone will snap you up! Have you thought of being self employed? its a big step, but may find its worthwhile. Good Luck once again.

Arb gary I think Big A's advice is best, companies will be more willing to take you on as an extra labourer with his tickets, than as a full time employee. That way you can get more experience, even if your not doing exactly what you want to do i,e climb you can still learn a lot watching others.

 

Thats how I started a couple of years ago, I worked as a groundie saved my cash bought my own equipment, paid for my own kit, taught myself how to climb, put myself through my tickets, all the time learing from sites like this a reading books.

 

After a few years I think i've done allright, and probaby learnt far more through real world experience than my few weeks training ever taught me.

Did my first big crane job this week, it went really smooth and safley, i'm well chuffed.

ive thought about self employment the problem being thats theres already alot of tree company's in my area already, from small outfits some of Scotland's biggest

 

apart from that, im un-emloyed and the only jobs going are part time in shops, no way i can save enought money to do anything let alone start my own company
