    I think first of all I need to work towards getting a job that is more officey based maybe looking for a job as facilities assistant.

    and going to the CAB to volunteer?]

    and by writing to all those companies to ask for some work experience?

    and by having a better PMA.

    You pity me .. yet praise up Phil ...mmmm :rolleyes: :confused: There a quite a few things going on in my life that you could throw a bit of pity at - thinking that you were so over the top supportive of Phil that you could be his Mum (joke BTW) is not one of them!
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    I hope you're physically fit - I don't want to put you off, but the people I know in FM are self-confident, pro-active, ace at problem-solving, work with minimal supervision, don't mind getting their hands and clothes filthy, have a can-do attitude, have excellent people-skills and communication skills, and don't mind being treated like ****. They're the first on call when the toilet overflows, and they frequently get a call at 5am on a Sunday to be told the aircon's broken down or the fire alarm's gone off yet again. And they get no thanks for it. You'd better prepare yourself for all that; it's a tough job. I wouldn't choose to do it.

    Just think of all those extra threads working for the CAB!

    There are other ways of getting into facilities SP. Our facilities manager worked within the back office for a year, transferred to the post room side for 6 months for an easier life and then got the job.

    You could always get into an office and put the question out there to them.
