Just a quick up date and follow up to my interview with a small family owned electrical firm.It had been 8 days since my interview and no news so i assumed the position had gone to a much more experienced spark than me ,then i receive nice phone call today from the owner asking if i want to work saturday/sunday rewireing a local doctors ,work includes conduit,singlecables,sockets ect as i was truthfull in the interview and stated that i have only done domestic work and no comm/ind work i was a bit daunted about pairing up to do the installation but his answer was come along have a go and see how you get on no pressure see how you like it ect.I thought the owner was very kind to do this for me so i do not jack in a full time job and go feet 1st and find its not for me .Its taken me over 4 yrs to get the courage to jump ship but even durring this very bad climet its nice know some people will still give people like me a break , moral is do not give up ,do not feel like you are on the scrap heap but keep chipping away at what you believe in and just may be it may come true

had a good day on saturday working in the doctors in my trial for a job,Only used to doing domestic so was a bit worried (no sleep on friday night ). I was made to feel at ease introduced to the other spark and mate and given my job for the day which was running white plastic conduit 20mm to all the socket and lighting points of 3 rooms from the ccu,with blood sweat and
a little advice from the boss i managed to com[lete the task by 4pm. i am now just waiting for feedback from the boss to see if i am up to scratch. The next job i will be doing in the near futor is fault finding , testing new / old installations ect. again i will try my best !!!

You know when you watch something on TV... and your rootin' for the good guy... and you can feel the struggle of the storyline he has to go through to get to the end... well, I watch for the next part of your story and feel good about what you've don so far. Feels like you're doing it for us all. Here's hoping that the next scene is just as positive. Well done...
