Rich Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 The novelty will carry you through it for a year, but if theres 2 of you at least one can cover the other. One of the hardest things apart from getting the work and earning the money is shutting off from it. Lots of sleepless nights ahead Good luck, I know you have a lot of customers already, so I doubt you will find it too much bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb-eye Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I believe theres an opening at //.National Installer.// local to you An "opening" it a bloody sieve. If its not engineers their loosing its contracts.Remember i said my lad was looking for a job in security. Well apparently he said he was amazed at how the big companies keep their engineers in compartments. Domestic or commercials alarms. Large or small CCTV and then fire. Jef Quote Customers!

ian.cant Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 There could be an opening at Secom up this way, engineer was close to be being chucked off site today. Not entirely his fault but he didnt know when to STFU! and from what i can gather at his office, no one there, no one replying to messages left etc! Its cost Secom the next large High Street Clothing shop about to start at Doncaster so i heard today and theres a lot more new stores on the way so theyre gonna lose a lot more! Big companies, you gotta love em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
