Hi all
Covered before no doubt. But advice needed regardless.
I have a couple of years H&S experience in the retail industry and now I work in passenger transport - rail/ferry/bus, for about a year.
My current job overall i.e relationship with manager, flexi time, environment, job stability etc is great. I do not wish to travel as I have a young family. I live in the North of England.
I have numerous minor H&S qualifications (IOSH Managing Safety/CIEH Intermediate Cert etc etc) which has gradually built up to the Nebosh General Certificate and more recently the Nebosh Diploma. I am also confident I shall achieve the Environment Diploma by the end of next year at the latest. I am a qualified First Aider and have done the CIEH Professional Trainers Certificate.
I am awaiting my upgrade to Graduate status. Then I intend to start the IPD two year process. I don't feel I have much in the way experience, but can hold my own and willing to learn.
Anyway - I get £22K. ALL things considered (credit crunch/lack of H&S jobs in the north), am I selling myself short for the qualifications I possess? There are others in my organization, who have similar qualifications, who are getting paid more I'm sure and its niggling me.
Bear in mind the fact that I feel I lack experience (but could blag a decent CV) am I right to feel this way or should I just be happy with what I've got, again, all things considered?

No need to sell yourself short. Write down all the things you do at the moment, all the things you have done and that makes a CV.
With your qualifications you should be ok. If you feel you need more experience, go back to your employer and start looking for a more varied background/widen your remit.
All things considered and the money side apart, do you enjoy your job? Is it likely that you are going to be made redundant? Can you survive on your current pay packet? Answer your questions and then make a decision from there. Remember, if you enjoy your job and your relationship with your employer/management is good, that is more than a lot can say.
Good luck..
Jeff
