Hi everyone ,i've just finished my c&g 2330 and i'm struggling to find some work.I'm 31 years old,i have no previous experience as electrician,but i've done some repairing,change plugs,small garden lights installation, at the moment fixing some catering equipment at work.Anyway not enough to prove that i've got experience... and find some job.My concern is that i can't get NVQ without being working in the trade.How can i apply for work?
Agencies got some jobs available but only experienced people.Do i have rights to apply for any cards?(jib,CSCS)
Who's gonna give me a chance?

Catch-22.
You don't have the experience so you can't get a job and without a job you can't get the experience.
And a difficult economic climate.

Maybe put your CV/profile in front of a few agencies.
Make sure it is presented well. If it isn't, it won't get past first base.
Certainly give your qualifications but be up front about your lack of experience.
Send emails to all prospective employers in your area. Be respectful and keep it brief. Expect rejections or ignores from the vast majority or even all. I understand that would be disheartening. But look at it this way. It's no worse a result than not doing it at all and it might get you something.

As a matter of interest, in which part of the country are you based?
