I've not posted on here for a while and debated whether to with this or not as I don't want to appear to be gloating etc. But it's far from a gloating post, more of 'you can do it'.....
But here goes anyway..
The moral of the story is really one of don't give up at all no matter the age or knock backs you may get.
Short story is I went back to college in my mid 30's on the C&G 2330 level 2 and the slightly revised C&G / EAL 2330 / 2357, anyway needed a placement last year and managed to get sorted at the local power station and was lucky to get 6 months work there too, after placement ended. Out of work just after Christmas 2012 and applied for every electrical job going and even sent CV's to firms who needed someone like me.
Got a call from a data comms firm who specialise in highways work, I am now installing gantries on the M6, wiring up boxes, panels, equipment I never thought I would ever get my hands on. It's a far cry from 'house bashing' which I thought I would be doing after college.
I only ever sent my CV to domestic installers, but I would send them to every man and his dog as you never know. I was lucky and I know that, but I work hard and give no one any reason to regret their decision.
I am now 40 and loving every minute working out in the rain, wind and the odd bit of sun.
Don't give up, you'll feel on top of the world when you get that call. It's easy to sack it off and think no one will ever take me on, they will and just keep on at it.
Thanks for reading.....
