Hi guys, hope i'm posting this in the correct place.
As you can see by my name i'm from the UK, i'm trying to get my foot in the door within the tree service industry, i've been interested for about 2 years but only recently got off my ass to do something about it, obviously i'm starting at the bottom as i'm inexperienced.
I was inspired by a friend who started roughly 2 years ago and he's doing really well for himself, i've done my basic tree felling and chainsaw maintainance course and passed it. The hardest thing i'm finding at the moment is getting a job, I have phoned nearly every business in my local area asking if they have job vacancies for groundsman, I don't even care if I use a saw or not to begin with, I just want to learn. I sent off about 15 CV to the other local business's with a cover letter stating my current situation.
I'm a hard worker and i'm willing and able to learn from the very bottom, am I doing something wrong here? It's making me want to change my career path already but I love working in the outdoors I just can't find anyone to take me on, i've done voluntary work before but the guy needed experienced climbers.
Anyone have any tips? Thanks for reading.
