Welcome aboard Felix, just keep sending out letters to employers, be professional and get your CV right, when I ran my company the amount of CVs I threw in the bin due to being amateurish was more than 75% of those sent.Hi everyone, just saying hello from Nottingham. I am shortly coming to the end of my Level 2 C&G course, and hoping to find my first job soon. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks MDJ. Is it fairly common for firms to respond positively to requests for unpaid work experience, just to get me started? I’m a mature career changer, so not what they might expect from a school leaver. My work experience is all office based stuff, which may put some people off?Welcome aboard Felix, just keep sending out letters to employers, be professional and get your CV right, when I ran my company the amount of CVs I threw in the bin due to being amateurish was more than 75% of those sent.
A good cover letter which is informative and written correctly with no or few spelling mistakes also helps. I wish you the very best of luck in your career.
Thanks Dan.Welcome to https://www.electriciansforums.net mate. As above get sending letters every day all day to everybody you think might even have a job let alone advertising as needing one.
Always change your cover letter don't make one standard one. Then try to do a paragraph about you liking the fact that your company does this and that.
Rub egos the right way right from the start.
And stick around on the forum there's loads of help and support but also actual electricians who could one day employ you maybe.
