Was short but sweet

[Guest]

Just found out yesterday my job is gone, I'll try keep it but looking at selling the car and bike.

Bit shit how they've dealt with it all.. It's a damn University.. They must have known..

Oh well.. Anyone hear of any sport/fitness/gym related jobs in the north east let me know [emoji39]

[Mr Fro]

Unlucky man. I know how you feel - I'm being made redundant due to site closure. I'm out the door on Wednesday but luckily start a new job the following Monday.

Keep looking and punting your CV out or better yet, go and press the flesh. Have you got any contacts who can put in a word with their firm?

[Guest]

I've made a few friends along the way with all my volunteering but at this minute in time there's not a lot going, might have to just swallow my pride and get a job outside of my 'industry' whilst I finish my degree.

[Joeman]

Sorry to hear that mate. Time to go self employed??

[JRH]

That's not good. Hope you are able to get something soon.

Have you considered personal training? I know every tom dick and harry are at it but with your background in competitive weightlifting you have more experiance than most on the subject.

Im at goldstar in heaton and there are 1 or 2 in there who focus on bodybuilding type coaching, never noticed anyone doing weightlifting coaching though. Might be niche enough to make you a few quid.

[Hoggs]

Sorry to hear that Liam - but all good advice above so I will say try all of that!

[soll]

thats tough matey... good luck in finding something.

[Gin]

I'm with the others on self employed / personal trainer!

Good luck with it all

I can't really risk that during my degree, I need some steady income so I know I can at least eat and travel to Uni

Unfortunately the general population have no clue and they think a personal trainer can do everything, although I'm PT qualified like I mentioned above I can't risk the unsteady income. I do it now and again cash in hand so maybe I'll just do a little more cash in hand

Keep your chin up mate. You're studying an industry that is growing rapidly. I have a client who is a life coach as well as a PT and he charges £50 an hour and has to turn people away as he doesn't want to do over 40 hours. The git!

I'm sure one of the chains of gyms will have something soon to see you through uni. DW always seem to be advertising around the NW.

Hope you get sorted soon

[rennie]

Sorry to hear this!

keep your chin up and good luck!

[Stu]

shit man not good!

hope you sort something fast and dont have to get shut of everything

[Six30]

Any way ...onwards and upwards , what bike you got and how much .

[Guest]

Triumph TT600 and we'll see [emoji1]

[XmisterIS]

Absolute bummer ... BUT ... you have one thing greatly in your favour: Experience!

You're a student with valuable work experience. Employers will take you over a student with no experience any day of the week.

[Guest]

Here's hoping! [emoji4]

You have work experience, and that means you have a USP (unique selling point) - something that makes you different from all the other candidates. Find your usp and sell it!

[NeilM]

Liam.

Have you any conflict management skills?

It's a growing industry. An old mate of mine has made a decent living out of it.

[Guest]

Conflict management? A bouncer? Nah mate none of that

[NeilM]

No Liam. .

It's a few runs up the ladder from that.

Yea most start on the doors but believe me when you get into the training side of it the brass is there.

[Guest]

I will definitely have a look at the training/education side of it, I never knew there was money in such a sector

[Guest]

After all this.. My neighbours just bloody drove into my car.. You can't make this kinda shit up...

I am guessing he/she let you know?
