Steps to take after qualifying?

[ovahdryve]

Recently qualified as a PT in the UK.

Been looking for work - no success. Extreme lack of Level 2 Gym Instructor Jobs (i.e not PT'ing but just working in a gym), can't afford to PT in a gym and start paying £400+ a month rent when I have no clients and am just starting out.

Am considering just going it alone (self-employed outside of the gym) from the get go.

Any advice? Do I need insurance to PT people at their homes/outside? I'm getting tired of waiting and want to put my passion and abilities into action. I also want to learn more everyday and having no work isn't helping me progress…

I'm about to be in this very boat. My plan is to start PT part time though, get myself known and gain vital experience.

I believe you should have insurance cover if working from outside/homes.
