Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting and I would really appreciate your thoughts on whether I should work for myself.
I have recently gone back to university to complete a degree in Building Surveying, over the years I have had a few jobs, but always wanted to work for myself. The trouble is as a new graduate in surveying I really need practical experience and I this is something I don't have a a lot of.
I have written to companies asking about jobs or just whether I could gain some experience, unfortunately despite a few nice messsages and advise, I haven't been able to get anywhere.
I have registered my CV online and contacted a few specialist surveying recruitment companies, however and like I am sure is the experience of others, all they do is ring you and ask a lot of questions or just contact you about a job and never phone you back.
I went to university as mature student and as I had my diagnosis as 25, I haven't had many years living with autism. In an ideal world I would love to be able to offer my surveying degree and experience to other austistic people or related charities.
I recently been made redundant and have worked in the business world for a few years and loved my last job, however I was told that I was to nice and asked on several occasions, if I really had a diagnosis by my boss.
I live near London and any thoughts or words of advise would be grately appreicated.
