Should I start working or carry on with education?

[Hamza sheikh]

I'm currently studying C&G 2365 and 17th edition and I have no experience at all, I'm not sure whether to carry on with education after this year or if I should jump into finding an employer which is just a whole another story. I've been looking for ages for an employer who could take me on while I'm studying so I can try out what I've learnt into practice. Any tips and advice is highly appreciated, thanks for readying!

Hi mate, I was in a similar position. I worked in my old job for the first year of college.

I registered with all the local agencies and they had me on a job within 3 days with no experience.

But...

I regret not doing it from the day I started college! I know I would be so much better at my job if I did so. After using agencies for a year, I had a CV worth looking at and put it out for a full time job. Which luckily I now have

Best of luck

Thank you for your reply! Could you tell me the agencies you applied for by any chance?

Depends on area, don't want to recommend you any that don't have jobs where you are.

Best to use indeed and look for electricians mate jobs in your area everyday, you'll see the agencies advertising them. Call them and explain you got no experience, they understand

That's good to hear, I just skip all the electrician and electrician mate adverts because I know they'll ask for experience and above all that I'm not even fully qualified yet! I'll definitely call them, thanks for your help!
