Phil, I used to work in the licensing trade many moons ago ... and I really do empathise with you ... it was actually never my intention to work in the pubs full-time, but ... I got kicked off my HND Computer Studies course
(I managed that course for a month before switching to business!) , and needed to earn some money fast ... at the time I was a part-time barman ... so suddenly I became trainee cellarman and full-time barman! Within a few years I was trained up to do relief management. Went from working in a really good and busy town-centre pub (taking £20K/week)
(my old pub took 80K a week), to working in a small out-of-town pub that was DEAD (took about £3K/week)
(my new pub takes about 30K). It was ok there ... I just got on with it ... but I'd have much rather worked in the town-centre pub cos I'd worked there for 3 or 4 years and knew everybody there!
THE GRASS ISN'T ALWAYS GREENER ...
I've left one job for another because of the lure of better pay, more career prospects, better benefits, company car, etc. only to be back at my former employer within a year because the company I went to wasn't bringing in enough work to keep me busy ...
I should be alright, the company I might be going to work for are the 2nd largest lift company in the WORLD!
Which reminds me ... don't burn ya bridges either
ya never know when you may need something from someone
LOL
