Self employment hasnt exactly gone according to plan so now I'm inbetween a rock and a hard place. Just about staying afloat but its not good enough. So as above is anyone looking for a labourer, driver, mechanic or whatever? I'm in North Cornwall in a village called St.Mabyn inbetween Bodmin and Wadebridge. Used to work on farms and in quarries and self taught mechanic as have my own tractors and a loading shovel and do all repairs on them. Physically strong like to think I'm switched on and can think for myself have driven most plant apart from backhoes, dozers, graders and cranes. Biggest issue is no indate tickets did have 360 tracked 10ton above and below with lifting ops but let it run out and cant afford to do them yet. Probably the worst time of year to try looking but here we are I got to live. Got clean licence happy towing trailers lots of experience cutting stone as done it for 2 years solid in a quarry cutting facing stone. will do pretty much anything cheers.

Think I'm sorted for the most part now. Going to a local engineering/fabricators in Wadebridge, self employed still so will probably try and sort some tickets out or atleast make myself more employable after getting my truck through MOT. Hopefully get me through winter atleast.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Dont have a level 3 NVQ its all anyone ever bloody want these days is a piece of paper. Had CFM urge me to apply for a position I did never heard back. Applied with GAP never heard back again. All moaning cant get anyone but don't even respond to someone who actually wants to work.
know what you mean - technically I'm unemployable (aside from the age thing) but will turn my hand to most things :rolleyes:;):giggle:
