Hi all, this is a long shot but here goes…

I am looking to get into Planning; I am currently a financial analyst.
I don’t have any experience of P3/P6 etc
I am in the Sussex/Surrey area and I was wondering if there was anyone who needed an extra hand doing some junior level projects.
I would be happy to take a fraction of the going rate but would require some hands on training?

As I said it’s a long shot but if there is anyone that can help me get my foot in the door- it would be really appreciated.

I don’t think I will find anyone but if there is someone then please contact me on ibz_u@hotmail.com and I can forward my CV could help you out with back log and help me with training?

Please let me know ASAP!

Many thanks

I.

    Hi Ibrar

    While you are waiting for a future employer to give you a call go the the PowerProject website and down load a 14 day trial version of the software and go through the tutorial.

    PowerProject is the most commonly used software in the UK construction industry.

    The only warning I would give is that - in my opinion - you cannot plan a project if you do not know how to build it.

    The best you can aspire to is a programme scheduler who works the software to interpret a method statement - and even then you will have to know what it all means.

    Best regards

    I think  with such avast

    I think  with such avast practical experience you need not to switch to P3

    It is only a tool to help you

    But with such ahuge experience you can do better without help of this tool
