Get
yourself an installation electrician JIB card and more avenues will open up for you.
 
Maybe you should add your location to your profile...... often people on here are looking for people!

Just saying
Thanks for reply ...I think There's my location Barnsley.. I think There are more problems .
I only have a work experience from my country or some people do not like foreigner works .
I've been applying on reeds ,cv library, just engineers long time and I see it hopeless .
 
Because of your lack of experience in UK electrical regulations compliance it may be necessary to start at a lower level job than you had hoped to be able to demonstrate your transferable skills are being correctly employed in relation to UK requirements.
Once you have done a period of this work, this should not really be more than a few months if you are already electrically competent, then you would be in a position to state that you have long term skills in electrical installation and experience of the UK installation and testing.

Unfortunately whatever your level of skill in complying with a different set of regulations, it is always necessary to have a period of learning the locally applicable regulations and how to apply them.
Because you have completed the UK regulations course you should be aware of the requirements, but demonstrating them practically will have better value.
Since you are already competent in your local electrical installation this should make the process a lot quicker and will mainly be learning what is not permitted here and being able to inform employers of that understanding.
 
Hi It's In South Yorkshire ...

Is there any way how to look up potentional emplyers ?

I have edited your postcode out as it exposes you to potential spam and nuisance calls etc, we have a JOBS UNITE section you can offer your services, those looking for potential employee's would normally peruse that section first. Please don't post personal details, use the PM system where you can then only receive PM's from members and you can vet them yourself before offering up personal details. :)

PS Welcome to the forum.
 
Thank you for your interest ...I've got some tools I don't have Rcd tester or installation tester ...I 'd like to find any electrical post . You know , I never did any fully rewiring of house ...so In the context of that I 'd prefer electrical assistant cos' I'm confident hence I never rewired any property . I'm very interested about electricity .I've passed two different colleges .If I could choice I'd prefer machinery , fixing them ..I like fault finding .
 
How the hell can you be fully skilled if you don't work in the industry. ?

Hi have two qualifications there is 1 from my country ( more electronic based ) the other 1 from Barnsley college Electrical installation level 3 & 17h edition .I possess work experience from my country being on maintenance but I never rewired any house ... My skills are ignored at my employer .I really like electricity
