So I applied back in February, interviewed for the apprenticeship in May and got called Wednesday for a job that starts north of Cincinnati on Monday as a first step apprentice.
I have a general idea what they do but does anyone have firsthand experience? |

Gas? Electric? Telephone? Substation encompasses more then one field. Electrical Just a few words. STFU and listen to your leads. Put the damn smart phone away and turn it off if you have to. Always be aware of your surroundings. IT'S ALWAYS HOT UNLESS YOU HAVE TESTED AND TAGGED IT OFF. TEST AND WEAR YOUR RUBBER GOODS AS REQUIRED. The above is a immediate firing offense if you fail to do so. No exceptions. |
