Starting Up on Your Own

Hi everyone

I wonder if any expert can suggest how I start up self employed. I do have some knowlege on how to install and service, but I don't have any governing boddy behind me. I used to be a electronic engineer.

I would like to do to earn some extra cash at weekends and days of work.

Any help would be most welcomed as I am very interested in this field of work.

People that are self employed engineers in security will usually have served a good few years as an engineer for an established company. While your electronics knowledge would make you an ideal engineer, you will need the experience.

I once worked for a company that took on an engineer due to his electronics degree and a load of other theory knowledge he had gained, unfortunately for him he could just about use a screwdriver in practice.

If your serious, try and find a local security company that will take you on as basically an engineers mate one day a week if you can, but dont expect to be paid too much as its the experience you will want.
