Do you have any vocational qualifications in the technical side? Or simply have experience as an apprentice or own other qualifications with regard to machinery, particularly vehicles? Then this article is for you.
Vehicle technicians, machine servicemen, craftsman or simply a mechanic are valuable professions in the industry today. Ever see an engineer actually do work on a machine? You don’t and that is because they do not have a lot of hands-on skills that they can utilise.
Going out on your own
Experienced mechanic in Campbellfield find use in a seemingly long list of jobs, from bicycle repair and construction to even vehicle operations. Going out on your own means starting up your own business. This may seem like a daunting task but has been done by many individuals all over the world. You can start from a simple vehicle garage where you can begin servicing vehicles. Rather than advertising, your name will be well heard through word of mouth, so be sure to perform an excellent service that will bag you repetitive customers. You begin by having a good look at your funding, if you require more you can always look for a quick loan from a bank to help you in your start-up. You need not find a new place as you can even start out in your own house garage (given your current location to be adequate enough). However it’s better to not mix business with family, the right location should be in an area that is easily accessible by your customers and be enough to accommodate at least 5 cars. This is however not the only way you can go out on your own, the other way is by being a freelancer. Not only will you be your own boss, but with enough recognition even large corporations will come behind you for your skill set to work with them under contract.
Inventing and Innovating
It can be hard to believe that a simple technician can ever become famous, but look at Ferruccio Lamborghini for example, as the name may suggest he’s the inventor of the famous and luxurious Lamborghini and he wasn’t even an engineer. Necessity is the mother of invention and if you ever feel like you want to leave behind a legacy once you leave this planet it’s time to look for ways to change the world.
Taking the Highway
The biggest mistake most people do is stop learning. They get their qualifications and they don’t touch another exam paper again. This is a wrong mindset. Why stop and continue as you are when you can upgrade your skills to that of an engineer and do better, earn more and understand more. In addition to this, people love doing business with those that are qualified, that being said there are many accreditation bodies that provide certification based on your level of skill, the more certified you are, the more likely you’ll be able to perform big projects especially if you want to be a freelancer.
