[Spawn]

well its fair to say that building is taking a hit at the moment , as on thu this week my boss layed off all his staff due to a lack of work coming thu .and jobs he had lined up being put on hold . so its off job hunting for me. spent all friday going around temping places . pretty much nothing for builders
this really has nothing to do with air soft . and i will not sell my guns love the sport toooo much . if any one knows of building work going give me a pm cheers . and ill see you all on the field

[HiddenDragon]

Hi, mate, very sorry to hear that, it sucks! Good luck with your job hunting!

[Zero]

Sorry to here your bad news.

Is there anything you could do at Polytech to fill the gap and possibly give you more skills ? (until the recession breaks)

[Spawn]

Hit my father up if you like, might not be able to help you directly (getting a job as a builder), but he works in the recruitment business... (tell him Darren sent you)

that blows dude, we laid off 6 this week so its the whole construction side of things If you are a signed up apprentice he shouldn't be able to get rid of you unless 1 he pays you out or 2 he finds you another job

[rogue]

Dude that sucks!!

You should contact your training liaison person in regards to your situation as I know when this happens with a apprentice in the printing trade. (and unfortunately it does happen) they will arrange a transfer to another employer so as you can finish your apprenticeship.

If you are a signed up apprentice he shouldn't be able to get rid of you unless 1 he pays you out or 2 he finds you another job

Yeah, hit up the BCITO (Greg Milne) if you have no contacts there.

bah, you've got like 150 years experience with the same company, and you're a shit hot engineer, therefore logic would point to them thinking you're the dogs bollocks, you'll keep your job, or on the bright side, have a 3 day weekend

Plus, if all else fails, you can go into business being the only one making sten guns, with the exchange rate selling them to a US market would be great
