Hi all
Can anyone offer me any advice on the best way to get regular work.
My situation is this: (i'll try and keep this brief) Got laid off from my job (after 17yrs) in January (newspaper printer), done a tiling course in march this year, got my NVQ tiling qualification, CSCS card etc and start my own self employed business. Had a fairly regular but slow influx of work but not constant....eg, One week of work then a week or so where it dried up.....you get the picture?
I have several adverts in circulation and business cards/website etc but to date i have received about 4 phone calls since june. The work i have undertaken has been from Rated People (where you have to pay for the lead) or from friends or friends of friends. I'm now at the stage where my redundancy money is running out (fast) and to be honest getting a bit worried as struggling to make ends meet.....I'm living day to day at the moment so if anyone can offer me advice i would be very much appreciated. I do understand that in this current economical climate this are tough but surely there is work out there, i'm just at a loss as to how to find it.
Thanks in advance!!
