OK, so the inevitable has finally happened!!!

[japgt]

I have now been made fully redundant from my job as of today after over 10 years of loyal service.

I have no bad feelings whatsoever against my employer as his hands were tied and there was nothing more he could do to prolong things.

So i'm looking for full-time employment as quickly as possible in and around the Staffordshire area, i'm really not fussed with regards to position, but my experience is office based, surveying/estimating for minor building/remedial works, also have experience in website administration although quite basic. i have also got significant experience in property management and letting.

I have a vast interest in cars of all types, particularly Japanese and american, so anything at all to do with this line of work would be amazing, even if it is nothing more than fetching/carrying/driving.

As already stated in other posts pertaining to un-employment, i am a loyal to a fault, hard working and genuine person who learns new procedures and systems very quickly and will work hard to proove myself to any person kind enough to give me a chance.

I am useless with CV's, so if anyone has any good tips for me with regards to help writing or pointing me in the direction of someone who can help that would be great.

Look forward to hearing from anyone at all who think they may be able to help in any way or point me in the direction of any work.

Many Thanks

Steve

Plenty of builders looking for PMs/estimators in the Staffs/Brum/West Mids area...

Can't help but very pleased to see that you are not the sort to wallow in self pity and are getting out there to try and get another job.

From what I have seen those who are motivated and treat job hunting as all but a 9-5 job in itself seem to get a job fairly swiftly most of the time.

Good luck.

Hi Guys

I vaguely remember a chap on here who always used to offer some advice to people and their CV's, was it ROG007?? would like to see if he would be able to advise on my draft CV and if there are any major issues with it before i start sending it out willy nilly.

many thanks

Steve

Ok, so after lots of hardwork on my cv and covering letters and lots of job hunting ive secured a new position with a large building contractor in wolverhampton doing exactly what i was doing before, same money and slightly longer journey but all in all im a happy bunny.

After officially being made redundant on 6th june and getting second interview to be offered the job there and then im quite impressed with myself.

Thanks to all for the help and guidance

Great stuff OP!

I've seen quite a few people go through your pain and it is funny but those who showed your attitude at the start of this (ie B***er, but let's get on with finding something bigger, better, more!) are back in a job very swiftly.
