Following a previous posting I am now wondering if I am worth more than I am getting being self employed!
I am therefore (again) testing the water to see what roles there are for a person with my qualifications (CMIOSH) and experience (12 years -general and construction. -but bearing in mind I am in North Wales - but commutable to N west and dont mind travel either!
I would be also interested in private replies as to what salary range/day rates I should be looking for.
I note a adverts few of late for employers paying mid 20k and asking for CMIOSH and lots of experience - wow, dont think they will get it or am I completely wrong.
anyway any well paid interesting jobs out there?

Paul, the best gauge is to take a look at SHP and get a feel for what is being offered. Discount the Local Authority jobs as they are consistently the poorest paid although possibly the benefits may offset some of the shortfall.

Sorry, hit Post Response before I was ready
CMIOSH with 12 years general and construction experience should be able to pick & choose from a range of good jobs in NW. Salary expectation may be 35-45K although employers will expect to get an excellent service in return. Corporate cultures may not suit someone who has been their own boss.
However, as self-employed, the answer may be in your own hands: seek higher fees/more appreciative clients if you feel you are worth it.
Good luck, but don't pinch my clients!

The two best pieces of advice I've been given as a consultant (now long established) are:
1) Work on averaging 200 productive fee earning days per year
1) Work out what gross turnover you are looking for (my annual expenses are about £15K)and then divide by said 200.
Of course, the more you want the higher the rate you'll need to charge. And there be a problem!

If you need to boost your self-employed earnings, there is a Consultancy Specialist Group meeting on 10 November that may be of interest. Click on 'specialist groups' to the left of the page and follow the links.

My business teacher at Uni had the following phrase about self employment:
'Your only worth what people are willing to pay.'
Good luck.
