The best advice I can give mate, is get yourself out there. Go to a site and ask to speak to the Construction Manager and have a chat to him, I did this for years while living in London and always got the start sooner or later :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Cscs card for construction sites,
PTS card for railway,
Get these done if you can, starting to pick up a bit.

The only problem is these courses cost money, but can earn good money.
Cscs card is the cheapest, about £50 - £65. Also cscs is now starting to be required for rail construction as well as PTS.
