Posted By Neil Hancock Joe. Im in the same boat. Just done a degree in SHE too. Seems no one will give anyone a chance on here ! even if you offer to do it for free in my experience.

Posted By Jim Walker Joe if you (and Neil) want to send me your cv? use jim.walker@alstec.com, not clickable adddress As Geof says it depends on where you live. IOSH really ought to be considering a "clearing system" for cases like this. Anyone wish to comment?

Posted By Raymond Rapp Ditto...although I may be in a slightly better position than Joe et al, in that I have a relatively well paid job and I am waiting for my 'ship to come in'. I have just completed a MSc in H&S Management and graduate next week. It appears very difficult to get a meaningful position in h&s, even in my own industry (operational railways) where I have worked for over twenty years. I have also some considerable experience in h&s through being a TU h&S rep and part-time consultant for a recognised company. Hence I have decided to take the plunge and complete a degree in Project Management starting this September. Someone recently joked that I could end up as the most qualified train driver in the country...it's not so funny now! Jim raised a good point, regarding a 'clearing house' for those who are seeking a job and have a good qualification and/or some experience. Perhaps the problem is that there are too few jobs in the melting pot. I wish Joe etc all the best for the future - as for myself, I will get there eventually, just hope I do not run out of funds first. Regards Ray

Posted By Brett Day If this is no against the forum please delete and let me know: If it's any use John Levy @ BBT used to deal with rail, it might be worth dropping him a line as whilst it's not H&S, with your 'insider knowledge'I'd have thought you'd ahve been snapped up. I'll e-mail you over the weekend
