There are tonnes of jobs in the industry working in Shops/ for dealers / H-pac etc things like that...

However with paintball being so small compared to other indutries these jobs are usually hard to come by and are often already taken my major players in the sport itself etc

Smart Parts were hiring a few months ago. Send your CV out to all the bigger firms and await a response. Send it to the person at the top. If you get one response out of five you're doing well And remember, you're trying to leverage yourself against all the other paintballers in the world who like the idea of working around all the new shiny stuff so make sure you have something they don't

OK cool, will send emails and follow up with CV's to start off with.

by the way, does anyone know how to become a qualified Tech? or is this something else i would need to ask them via email?

just thought it would look pretty damn good on a CV for the sort of job im after or indeed any job.

tar very much!

ask them if its training they could provide, and be realistic, dont go sending cv's to planet eclipse in the states because they will only spit on you
