My other concurrent contract is doing my head in so I'm trying to off load that.
But as you never really know, I'm only confident, not super confident.
WHS - contract in Germany (until next April), contract in Norway and one in London. Bidding for another in middle England. Was thinking about employing a chap I met on linkedin, he lives in India and seems to know what he's doing.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThe market for personal trainers is growing quite strongly in NL, partly because there are plenty of fat rich people, but partly because some top sportspeople are hiring personal trainers with their olympic grants; I've been giving some training to one of the Dutch national ladies rugby sevens squad who's got a grant from the national olympic committee to prepare for 2016 olympics. Obviously, you need contacts to get that sort of work.
It's one of those jobs that looks very easy, but isn't; the best qualifications require quite a lot of learning (anatomy, physiology, training theory, advanced first aid, biomechanics, business skills etc etc) and both written and practical exams are pretty tough. You can get work without qualifying, but the right qualifications get you into professional networks which help you in getting customers and positioning yourself at the top end of the market where you can bill between 55 and 75 euros per hour, and occasionally much more if you break into the celebrity market.
At the lower end of the market, poncing around in a franchise gym wearing a pink shirt that says 'personal trainer' and listening to Wilmslow whingeing about his latest injury, you'll never make much more than 20 euros per hour, and if you're on the payroll of the gym it's basically a McJob paying minimum wage + about 20%."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
