I left school wanting a career in IT, went to college for 2 years and passed various IT related courses.
I went straight from college into a IT Support role. Working at a place called PC Service Call (telephone support). Worked there for 15 months and hated every minute of it
i had enough and left. Only stuck it for that long because i wanted to get the experience for my next step up the IT ladder.
Tried to get another job in IT Support (just not in a call centre
) , applied for over 45 jobs and dint get any ! got close on a few interviews but always been beaten at the last step
I had to make my mind up, keep applying for jobs or change career. I think there are just to many people in the IT field now.
I changed career and never been happier !
I changed to the building trade ! been working with a builder for over a year now and love it !
I go to college 1 day a week for bricklaying.
So gald i mande the change, its great out side every day. Different job/place every month or so.
Money at the moment is alittle low, but when i get trained up it will be better £100 to £200 a day
To sum up, very happy i changed !
