Default I need help 2...

Mods, hope you don't mind me posting this...

OK all you lovely .Orgers in the south-west, I need your help please!

I'm planning to move to the Bristol area ASAP, but there's the minor issue of finding a job first! It's not the best climate to be moving jobs I know, but the opportunity to move down south might not come up again for a long time. So...

<cheeky mode>

Giz a job someone!

</cheeky mode>

Seriously though, if anyone knows that their company/employer is looking for staff, I would love to hear from you. Naturally I've already been using the more traditional methods of job-hunting but I figured it can't hurt to ask everywhere.

My background is technical support for security systems, which I've been doing for the past 7 years, but in that time I've been seconded to other departments at times doing admin, training new/existing staff and supervising, so I'm flexible and can easily adapt to a new role. My education goes up to A-level (I really should have carried on with University & got a degree!).

So please, pretty please, if you think you might know someone in the Bristol / Bath / Chippenham / anywhere-else-nearby area who could make use of my talents, drop me a PM - likewise if you want my CV or anything - I'll consider any job.

I will be happy to drop your name on the application if you stand to get any kind of bonus/incentive for introducing new employees (e.g. my current employer gives £250 of vouchers).

Obviously, there will be many, many beers at the AR for anyone who manages to help me make the move!

Thank you all very much

Andy

Cant help you with a job off (good luck BTW), but might be worth adding Swindon into the search area.

I know that Cable and Wireless have a big Datacenter in Swindon.

I was wondering how long it'd be until the first 'not another northerner' comment!

I already asked about a transfer but there's no positions open in our Bristol office at the mo. Chubb had a vacancy for a service engineer so I applied for that but didn't get an interview I've sent off my CV on spec to a few other similar companies, will have to wait and see if that produces any results...

Stretchie & Cheryl have kindly offered me a place to live - I had no hesitation in saying yes cos they're both ace! (and the pub is only a 2 minute walk away...)

It's true, he is a tart and available for hire. If you want a Saxo for the night he is available for hire until he gets a job down here..

Make cheques payable to boy4thanight
