What should I do next??

    Hello all.

    Any ideas what job I should go for next.

    At the moment I am a yard man for a company that is closing down. My duties are: general tidyness, ordering materials, basic servicing of machines(loading shovel, mini diggers). Recently I have been out on site a little bit too. Here I would be digging a hole with the mini digger, while being careful not to tear up any cables that may be in the ground. I also am doing some CAD drawings for the engineer. I also do a little tech support for the guys in the office. Fixing minnor problems with pc's, installing isdn on a new line, networking a few pc's, that kind of thing. There was also a little carpentry, electrical and plumbing work done.


    My question is what should I do next? At the moment i am on €500 + overtime(loads of that)+ a van. Where would I get a job, with my skills, that pays similar/better, in the Dublin area?

    if thats 500+ plus after tax, i will quite my job and take your job.
    otherwise, nowhere that i can think of.

    depends if you want to go into an office enviroment, do you want to work on a site, or whatever. or try and find a similar company or at least company set up and see if they have a position for a jack of all trades.

    the only problem with changing jobs is that you generally start at a certain level and work up.

    also, you dont appear to have ny specific skills, which you will have to rectify and that depends on what you want to do......
