Looking for entry level work - SA (south of adelaide)
Hi all. My name is Dan, I'm 36 and I have just come out of a career in the Police due to the development of PTSD.
All my qualifications are within government services, which I am excluded for 3 years from working for. (A generic condition for resignation packages).
My grandfather was a carpenter, his brother too. My father was a furniture maker then went in to driving a tree harvester.
I never had the feel for woodwork.
While recovering I tried all sorts of hobbies etc to take my mind off things. One of them was woodwork and I found a certain solace in it.
I am looking at entry level work, preferably in furniture making, and yes I realise that I may need to start with an apprenticeship.
Any places to look, tips, etc would be greatly appreciated.
I have been compiling a list of local furniture makers and will be driving around to chat and drop resumes.
