Hi guys long time no see.
I have a favour to ask?
I've recently been on jobs for jib electricians on Facebook recently and asked them a question thinking I would get help but it turned out to be nothing but a gateway to being ridiculed and called all sorts ie 3 week wonder, self chancer, and the like.
Circumstances are these- I'm currently self employed working for agencies as a mate/improver if there is such a thing.
My boss got me to have containment plans and wiring plans to carry out on the biggest part of a food shopping place. I won't mention any names. My mate who is fully qualified and been time served for more than 20yrs was on holiday for a week. So I took it and said ok I will try.
I continued doing the lighting with power and dali's for dimming and 6 cord for sensors. Pir's.
My mate came back and we carried on but he left to go to another job abroad so then my boss left this with me to complete. I did so and finished it he then went on to give me more and more. Now the problem I have is this! I know I should not be doing this unsupervised as I'm not fully qualified yet almost there but not yet. So it got me thinking, what level am I really with the certs and experience I have gained and am I being paid right, so I decided to ask these guys on there for advise? Well if I did I got a load of comments and abuse from them if your not jib your no body. I honestly for the first time felt completely be littled and been really down all night over this. I'm not going to give up my ambition tho just got me really down about it
