nickgreer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi Folks, Nick here from Stoke, Staffs. I am looking for some help, have been doing Sales for 15 years but after a lifestyle change and looking to get into CCTV/Fire Installation. Have some minor experience installing small camera systems and about 8 years ago worked at British Sugar in Telford and run all cables for Access/ cam/ IR/ into new control room. I understand this would effectively be a trainee position but not afraid of hard work and willing to get stuck in If anyone knows of any vacancies or can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/26172-hi-folks-new-to-the-site-need-some-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-G Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I Take it the (lol) is to ridicule, or am i wrong ? I think he was trying to point out that you won't have companies queueing up to employ you ...... a trainee usually costs the company several thousand pounds before they're of any use. When things are busy we need to train new guys, but in quiet times few companies will have the need or desire for it. . . . PM me for access to the SSAIB members discussion area.
