WTK HELP ON EMPLOYMENT

rere31 · Postby **rere31** » January 11th, 2016, 5:08 am

I was employed in the field of civil engineering with majority of my experience within said field. Since late 2015, I have been unemployed and finding difficulty to regain a job within the field. Is there any hope for the construction sector? Where should I turn to to apply? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Need funds to continue my studies.

dude, jobs are impossible to get out there. I have a BSc., PMP, CMQ/OE, CQE, CQA and ISO 9001 lead auditor together with 8 years construction experience and I've been at home 3 months now.

Your best bet is in agriculture. I invested $5,000 into a hydroponics setup and making pretty decent change from it.

I emailed my c.v to sammy but I didn't get a response yet. I'm doing my NETD in civil engineering part time and I have a little over 2 years experience with two major contractors. I'm young and being unemployed is a big strain at the moment since it's only my mother and I. I don't know where to turn to...but I need to find something or as a matter of fact anything as soon as possible. I was considering joining the police force and use the income to pay for tuition. I don't even know when ttps will be recruiting again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

^TTPS recruitment is a long process dude, its more than a year something like that takes from the day you go for the sign up.

Like the other guy said you can try Agriculture, but some warning with that. I plant cucumbers and I ended up having to give away hundreds for free. Even at $2 a pound nobody was buying and none of the local veggie parts was willing to buy wholesale either. A LOT of people are doing agriculture now and few people willing to buy.

To go in the wholesale market you also need a farmers ID and transport. So you gonna need a pickup. You must plant plenty to make a reasonable amount of money else you wasting your time. Most of these supermarkets etc does already have a supplier and won't be willing to buy your stuff aswell.

It sounds like a good gig, but when you really try it is then you does see what taking place. And you need to invest money on agriculture aswell. Unlike a job where you do not except maybe a pants and shirt. My advice don't waste your time on agriculture, if you have a car you better off running taxi. Its the same reason I start to plant 200 coconut trees and done away with short crops, its the only long term crop that hard to thief, has huge demand, and has a lot of money.

You tell the man agriculture is a waste of time, but you also state you start to plant 200 coconut trees? Last time i checked growing coconut trees for the purpose of selling the nuts is the same agriculture you just said as a waste of time.

you really are a special kinda strange.

rere31 · Postby **rere31** » January 11th, 2016, 1:20 pm

My idea for a small income on the side was to save up for a kia carens and let someone work the vehicle as a taxi...then eventually branching into auto rentals....then to buy and sell....but I need permanent employment and that's difficult to achieve in the construction sector. My friend was telling me when he signed up he got called a little while later then training was 7 months and he passed to become an officer. I honestly don't know where to turn to. House to fix...tuition to pay and a bag of worries to tote.

Yeah because I actually have the kind of land required for coconuts to be profitable and it not costing me a cent to plant coconuts, So I don't need to differentiate between coconuts and other crops because I already know he does not have space for coconuts and he needs a QUICK solution as he says and the only quick solutions in agriculture is short term crops. And I never say Agriculture is a waste of time I told HIM don't waste HIS time on agriculture because I KNOW that he needs the space, equipment, connections / established business relationship to sell his produce and not have it rotting on him. He does not have a farmers ID card to go in the wholesale market, how do you suggest he get this card? they don't give this ID to every tom dick and harry just like that.

You try and plant short term crops nah and see how much you make, and how many businesses are willing to be your supplier and don't already have their suppliers. Coconuts are just an exception to the rule, people does come to your house and beg you to sell them coconuts every month, you doh even have to pick all you do is check. This is the total opposite of other crops. You need nearly 2 Acres of Land for coconuts to make sense cause some trees only give you 1 bunch a month.

One place you guaranteed to get work is in Servisair in the airport. Like check in agent at the counter and security and cargo agent etc.

If you really serious then drop your resume to servisair building but its now called swissport. Its at the old airport, you are 100% guaranteed to get a job in 2 months because you have to do training etc. The pay is around $25 an hour regardless of the position.

There is a reason they always want workers eh, only apply there if you have no other choice, but $25 an hour isn't bad if you can't get anything better for the time being, hey it beats nothing an hour right?

I think we need to start a thread where we post any vacancies or hear of any company recruiting...besides caribbenjobs. trinidadvacancies, and trinidadjob.com.
I just started a new job but the probation isn't going well at all... I fear I may be looking for a job soon... I still have a loan to pay off...

learn a trade or skill....eg welding....learn to weld gates, burglar proofing etc... with our current situation, i guarantee in the future alot of ppl would be needing that added security....

learn to cook...once your food is good its guaranteed to sell....no doubles or gyro tho....that market saturated ... plus you can get away from taxes....

open a auto parts place....stock parts for all fast selling and popular makes....toyota....mazda and especially nissan tiidas since they are prone to crashes and abuse by the law breaking population
