Having recently been made redundent, i am struggling to find work, and it seems to be because i dont have my ACS gas certificate or plumbing certificates or electrical/fire alarm/security alarm/lift/elevator etc etc tickets.
It seems at the moment companies are looking for Jack of all trades.
Now i wouldnt call myself a master but 12 years experience, C&Gs etc etc purely in the AC&R industry has to be worth more than someone who flits between different trades.
I just find it hard to take that someone who has spent more time in a college classroom learning different trades without gathering valuable experience is more desireable than someone who has lived and breathed 1 thing for so long.
These are tough times!!
Am i barking up the wrong tree???
Rant over!!
