    Big Companies Aren't Always Best

    Suntech has gone bust today, a lot of the larger solar firms have gone bust in the last 12 months. I have a wry smile to myself now and then, thinking about the odd job that we lost to customers who wanted to go with a big business because they knew the company would be there in years to come...

    Emailing companies?

    Hi, Would it be a wise idea to email companies about possible vacancies (apprenticeships) inquiring if they need an apprentice etc, I really do want an apprenticeship. Or should I simply use job searches and look for openings? Regards, Anthony.

    Licensed companies that forward you tenders and small jobs for public sector and LA's

    Got a call this afternoon from one of these. They seem above board - licensed by the EU and part of the government initiative to give small businesses a chance at LA work etc instead of the big boys getting it and then subbing it out with a price hike. Sounds good so far I suppose. They want...
