I've just heard today that I've been made redundant from my fairly well paid job as a Stress Engineer, rubbish (I decided to buy a £700 laptop 2 days ago too, durr).
I am lucky in that I don't have a house or a family to support, but it kind of throws a spanner in the works of my future plans...
I have managed to secure a working holiday visa for Canada and plan to do a season of snowboarding and a season of mountain biking in BC which will also give me a chance to work on my photography. I had budgeted assuming I would be employed up until end of October so now its looking like my big year away may fall at the first hurdle through lack of funds.
I thought I might see if anyone on the forums might have a suitable position available for me for August, September and October (I still have a month to work in this job but can leave early if I wish).
Unfortunately I'm not a qualified PB Instructor, so thats rules that option out but I'm very adaptable and so will consider anything! RIB or boat related is a bonus but I'm not necessarily heading in that direction. Most of you on here are aware that I do a bit of photography so perhaps there are some companies/individuals who could put a bit of that work my way?!
Very sorry to here that It's a bit of a fkkr to deal with.
I'll certainly kep my ey out ( well roguetta will, cos I'm offshore from tomorrow).
Therres a guy called Jiohnny (Tugboat) Eveleigh in Poole who is commisioning a few tugs and may need help.
Griffin Marine and Towage is his company give hima a call and mention my name (Stuart Hopkins) ior Roguetta (Brit) and tell him we'd be happy to vouch for you f you are interestedand and he has any work.
John, ha yeah should be good fun! I'm in the process of re-developing my website and the new one will have a photo blog on it so you can all see how much fun i'm having
Grumpy, I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request Let me know if you hear of any open doors!
Stu, thanks for the tip, may well give him a call but I have a few things i'm going to try first.
