Redundancy Shock

[Aqua Mechanica]

After 1 year and 5 months with this company, I was totally shocked to find that they had no work for me this week and I don't expect to have any soon considerig the bulk of their work is in the New Housing market.

So, as I never foresaw this as they have looked after me very well since I career changed a little over a year ago, what next steps should I take to seek new work as an "almost qualified" NVQ lvl 2 Plumber?

If anyone knows of any spaces in companies in the London and North Kent Area, please let me know.

Thanks all

Ben Wood

Thanks, will take the advice on board for sure.

I think it may be time to stop putting all my eggs in one basket and drop myself in the deep end. I depended on the company to always provide work but perhaps I should now get my own clients.

Oh well I'm not alone but it would have been better if it would hae happened after I got my NVQ in May.
