Nice one Monty :face-approve::face-approve: some units are great for this even including team photos but there are some baduns out there
And newtothis you say the pay was fair given your experience but there are other considerations too - like were you insured to work on the site? Did you ask? Cos you could have been in some serious poo if you yourself was hurt or if you hurt someone else. Please dont take this as being negative (I'm self employed meself) it just concerns me that units are moving towards this route without fully considering the needs of their workers and short cuts are taken to cut costs.
But I do agree with you it is important to gain as much experience as possible - and congrats for finding work - its crazy competative out there- BUT and is a BIG BUT please please read the BAJR selfemployed guide to make sure that next time you ask the right questions as this small thing could save you some real problems in the future
