[Time's Ran Out]

timeless john im looking for work no a pep talk,my post is looking for work

SGD - At my age it's differcult to keep a concerntration level for any length of time, and as usual I got embroiled in the later posts which I felt were providing you with a rather negative viewpoint as to the state of our industry.
There is work out there however I realise that for the newer/less experienced tilers these must be testing times.
I have in previous threads contributed a number of suggestions for obtaining work and I try to remain positive in my replies when advice is sought.
The best advice I feel any member should take is to use this forum to its maximum, and to use the immortal words (altered to ft the current theme) of JFK - Don't ask what this forum can do for you, make this forum work for you.
It gives you a platform to show your work, provides you with all the technical knowledge you will require, and allows you to communicate with the trade you are involved in.
Fill your profile albums and show all your customers that you are part of the biggest and best TILERS FORUM on the internet.
Enjoy your trade and the work will look after itself.
AMEN.:smilewinkgrin:

Well lets all fall over ourselves to throw work your way...in fact lets not ! If you spoke to me in that manner, you would be the last to get any help. Play nice or dont play at all!

SGD - I know how long you've been a member as I checked through all your posts before I commented above.

There is a pattern were you have appealed for work over that time. I understand times are lean for some but there must be something you can do to improve your situation. The advice above can be ignored or actioned, it's up to you.

You have also made a few posts calling out other companies on public forum for 'ripping' you off. Now I don't know who you are or what your work is like, I also don't know who these companies are so by default I have no idea if you or these companies are in the wrong. Maybe you are in the wrong who knows?? Why would someone employ a tiler that if all doesn't go well is likely to bad mouth them in public???

Reputation and good contacts is the key.
I was low on work there for a few weeks but now i'm under pressure, some turn around let me tell you.
It all boils down to how good you can tile IMO.
Good luck to all who are finding it tough, hard times and this is where our rep comes in strong if we have one.
