In exactly same boat mate. I've even started applying for jobs nationwide now absoultly nothing up here in North Wales! Have a few jobs lined up in the New Year so might just jump in at the deep end, gain some experience and hope to get a job as a plumbers mate sooner rarther than later!

have you tried this site? UK jobs - CV-library.co.uk always loads of jobs down London way.

Keep at it, don't give up. The thing is that there is so many people out there in your position with so little jobs available. I was in exactly the same position as you up until a few months ago when I finally secured an apprenticeship about 40 miles away from where I live. The wage or training allowance just about covers my fuel bill. But I'm not complaining as I know how hard it is get your foot on the ladder.

Good look to you........you'll need patience, I had to wait 3 years!

you might think theres a lot of work in london but truth be known there nothing at the min mate, think iv phoned every company up in and around london area and they all keep saying the same thing "nothing at the minute mate" or "just had to lay 3 blokes off me self mate" gonna keep at it tho, aint wasting 2 years on site work and all that collage time i had to do to start changing jobs now.

its the same down in cornwall too boys (or girls?),

i've been round and seen 30/40 plumbers in the past few weeks and all i'vegot is, maybe in the new year.

fingers crossed one of the maybes turns into something, i just can't wait to get going after all this college.

Hi. Your salvation may come in the form of a cold winter. I hated getting called out for the repair of burst pipes, and i doubt i am alone amongst established plumbers. However there is good money to be made should it occur. Good Luck
