Plnl has a vacancy on caribbean jobs for mech and electrical technicians. Apply there. What companies have you applied to? Try all those contractor companies to get some experience in the sector then move from there. SIS, D rampersad, RMSL, Tosl, just to name a few....

If you wrote to them any where near like you wrote here never expect a reply. Did you write a cover letter as well or just drop off a resume?

Here's a couple of tips. Go to a good stationary store and get proper paper. Not that John Dickinson copy paper rubbish, proper quality paper with a good weight (24 lb. at least and with a textured feel even better, e.g.

They'll know about paper weight in the stationers. Same goes with envelopes. Remember, Human Resource Officers probably handle a dozen resumes a day so you want to make yours look and feel better than the rest.

Write a concise cover letter introducing yourself and explaining why you want to work at the company. If they feel they are just another company in a long line of companies you are applying to, they'll treat you as another in a long line of applicants.

Paste what you want to send them here if you want and I'm sure a few people here will make it shine if need be.

Good luck.

Should work in your english for starters.

in your cover letter remember to market yourself well, look at the company and what they do and who they are, and then try to explain why you would fit in or be an excellent choice. give a couple relevant examples of how your skills and strengths would be useful to the company's activities.

Buy tools, rent a pickup, hire a few old field hands and start doing jobs. Wuk for yourself and let other people fuel your dreams. I made the mistake that pursuing a career and working for a firm would lead to wealth. I was wrong. You are young.. go for it!!

They have a really great program... I encourage everyone who wants to start something get aligned with their small business incubator program. I learned a lot.

Need to put that knowledge to work for the business.

So after that great programme, are you in business as a sole trader or working for a company collecting a fat cheque every Month end like is the case in the energy sector?
