Hi all,
I am desperately seeking my first position within health and safety, I have recently completed my nebosh certificate and am waiting on results, I have had a few interviews but feel my lack of direct experience is letting me down, however i do have the passion and the commitment so if there is ANYONE out there willing to give me a chance to prove myself please get in touch.
Jo.

Good luck so far that you have had a few interviews. You can use the experience from these to get more interviews. As is always emphasised on the discussion forums, keep trying.
However,youth may be a factor. I have General and Construction certificates. Although there was an initial flurry of contacts from agencies when a CV was submitted, only one interview resulted, nothing since.
So as I have limited experience, I am going for Dip2 and see what happens after that. Probably, too old, too qualified, no experience.
Keep trying Joanne.Be determined, it pays off eventually.

Lynne,
May I suggest you focus you efforts on getting commerical H&S experience. I don't believe someone with no H&S experience and a NEBOSH Diploma 2 is more employable than someone with a NEBOSH Dip 2 and no experience.

I started working in the H&S Department as an administrator whilst doing my NEBOSH to get my foot in the door.
I am currently out and about on site with our H&S Manager learning the ropes and getting the much needed experience.
Good luck with your results.

I am currently in the deepest depths of Cumbria but am looking to move to the midlands area in the near future, however I have no commitments so am able to relocate anywhere in the country.

Dont give up, do your diploma its a numbers game bang an application in for every safety job you see one will come up, register with all the safety recruitment firms, check out the WWW. worktrain.co.uk and www.fish4jobs.co.uk website believe me every now and then something comes up on them, thats how i got started
best regards
Brian Green MIOSH (soon rsp)
