I am an experienced level 2 IRATA tech with 2500+ hours, GWO Blade repair, BST, ART and EFA. When I first tried to break into the wind industry I was only a level one - obviously didn’t get any offers and thought I’d try again with more experience, but this time round I’ve also had no luck.
In total, I’ve spent close to £8000 on offshore certs and training in the last 5 years, all self funded and with no luck. I’m at a loss and feeling the effects mentally by now - I don’t want this time round to be another waste of money and time. Can anyone in the industry give me some advice, encouragement, leads or WhatsApp groups to follow up with? I’d appreciate all and any help.
I know networking is a massive part of it and it’s largely down to who you know. I’m willing to travel anywhere in the world to do this, but I just can’t seem to get a break. I’ve messaged every recruiter and company twice over, with no luck, yet I know level 1 techs with no GWO certs that have got jobs just because they know someone, which is really frustrating . Any advice or tips?
