    Needing guidance for career change to become Electrician.

    This, although a lot are now changing to EAL because apparently it offers them more flexibility and is cheaper.

    Needing guidance for career change to become Electrician.

    If you're quick you might be able to get into college for this year. Don't worry about being a woman either, loads of women in the trades these days.

    Mental health in the electrical industry

    Yep, it works like magic for both hormones and weight loss which are inextricably linked (insulin resistance is the biggest problem in the west and it goes away when you cut carbs and constant eating). It's also magical for mental health. Sadly too many people won't even try it because it goes...

    Hey, i'd tried to get an apprenticeship last year and couldn't because of family issues. I'd given up and was going to do computing but the same day my missus pointed out the course at college to me, was the same day i saw your video with him and i got inspired to sign up for college. That led...

    Mental health in the electrical industry

    It's diet and lifestyle related. Sugars (of all kinds, including those contained in vegetables) do very strange things to your body and mind.) Key is slimming down, getting enough saturated fat and eating very little sugar, combined with not eating all the time (skipping breakfast and lunch is...

    I have decided... after a long time i want to become an Electrician

    The age cap was removed in England at least and now it's open to anyone, but for those 16-19 the employer gets an extra grand. Yeah they get £3k but have to pay £900 to my training.

    Cordless drill - Dewalt vs Milwaukee

    I ignored your point because it was stupid. When drills fall to absolute bits because they're crap i don't care that it's got better specs on paper, it's still a piece of crap and i won't ever buy them again, which is what happened with Makita. I don't remember the numbers since i sold the lot...

    I have decided... after a long time i want to become an Electrician

    As far as i see it the CV is just your way to get you in front of someone. That's when you can be more detailed. I put everything i know how to do to a decent standard on my CV. Can i plaster like a proper, seasoned plasterer? No. But it looks the -------s when i've painted it so i say i can...

    I'll give it its due the Makita impact driver was half decent but still relying on a crap battery.

    I have decided... after a long time i want to become an Electrician

    It just highlights the transferable skills - so i obviously know how to measure, cut accurately (sometimes!), use a tape, use tools, figure stuff out if it's going wrong, etc. I know the process of putting full houses together from foundations to ridge tiles, all that stuff. As for the employer...

    I have decided... after a long time i want to become an Electrician

    It's difficult. I plugged away for 10+ years to get to where i am now. The only reason i've been taken on is because my employer knows he's gonna get much more out of me. Soon i will be on jobs on my own, being paid £8.92 an hour while he's charging me out at £75 per fitting. It just is how it...

    I have decided... after a long time i want to become an Electrician

    Easiest has been sockets because they're just really simple. Hardest is figuring out lighting that someone else has bodged and dealing with idiots. The other day the manager where we're working wanted a hallway, and two sets of 8 LED panels switched off a single 1 gang. The guy i was working...

    Cooker hood - connection but no current

    I'm all for DIY bro but please get a spark in. It will probably take them 10 minutes to find the problem and less than an hour all in to sort it all out. You're looking at about £100 max.
