Hi Mike, thanks for the video. What are good entry level jobs? My research online says flagging only pays $15 an hour. Anything that pays $25 or more at entry level? I’m thinking of getting my osha 30 card

@@diecast_MikeEspo doing it next week on thursday and friday when I have a break in my schedule. I was wondering what entry level jobs I would be able to get with the OSHA 30 card and what would the pay be? I really appreciate your time. Im highly motivated to get this done. Thanks Mike

Good luck , the work is out in the streets , it is a busy time in construction . Mike Espo...

Every where , NYC and the 5 boro,s . Just look around , walk around . Mike Espo..

Hi Christian , what about them , if you are a operator today , you should be WORKING ...... Every site in NYC has a working operator , or 2 and 3 and more. Now if you are looking for a job as a Equipment operator , you must go to school and learn how to operate a machine , its that simple . NYC is so busy now with construction jobs its not funny . Just walk around and see for yourself . Mike Espo....

Thanks for watching Kurbz, and thanks for your support. Mike

Yes , it sounds hard , but its not , and its a way to meet people face to face . Thanks for watching , Mike Espo...

email me , my email is on youtube

Mike Espo which video, I don't see it

Hi , All over the city , and the 5 boroughs . NYC is booming , work is going strong again . What do you want to do ?? Mike Espo ??

You're welcome, thank you for watching .

Yes , if you google safety schools , They are in NYC and Queens in LIC .

Thanks you .

Thanks , and thanks for watching . Mike Espo..

@@diecast_MikeEspo I want to be a New York City Construction worker but I live at Los Angeles. Any tips?

@@austinrodarte7045 . I guess the first thing would be to move to NYC , but I am sure if you looked for work in Los Angeles you would find something ? Mike Espo

@@diecast_MikeEspo I know it is expensive to live at New York City so would you recommend me to work construction in Los Angeles for a few years to save up money then travel to New York and obtain an official job there?

What state do you live in ? What are you interested in doing for start , or for life ?? Mike Espo ???

Just hit the streets. If you want , start in LIC Queens . Construction jobs are everywhere in LIC , its building up like crazy. Then go into NYC , start on Broadway , and you will see construction site everywhere. Mike

Hi , In every state you need certain SST card training , or a OSHA 40 card . If you google what are the certifications to work in construction in your state I am sure you will get the correct answer . or check with a local Union , a few unions still have entry level training programs and they will help you get all the correct cards in order to work . Good Luck . Mike .

Hi Sasa , unfortunately I am at many sites right now . Just walk around NYC and see by asking for a foreman to speak to , good luck .

The money is good , some laborers start at 14 to 16 an hour plus benefits , if you have a flagging card , and/or a scaffold card these 2 are a plus , you must have a OSHA10 card to work on any site . Once you are a laborer you can always move up or work with a different trade, and then make even more money. Mike

Hey Shawn , you will need to complete a few classes to get an SST card . Just goggle SST card Construction and all the info should come up . Good luck Mike

​@@diecast_MikeEspo👍🏾

You don’t need the OSHA 10 anymore. In NYC they completely changed the rules. You now need a SST CARD . So Google SST card , I think it is a total of 60 hours of different subjects. A flaggers card is still very good to have . Mike

Construction jobs hours in NYC are 6:00AM to 5:00Pm and longer , most guys do 12 hour days . Good luck with the MMA .

@@diecast_MikeEspo 5:00pm would work for me, just have to figure out if the options around me have that same schedule. Thank you.

Good luck , God Bless .

He is right , the rules are for you to get on a construction site, you need a 30 hour OSHA card . Take the course in a class , not on line , a lot of fake company’s on line . Thanks for watching, Mike Espo .

@@diecast_MikeEspo Thank you so much Mike.

Goggle LBG , company name is Leading Builders , they are building all over NYC . Also Goggle Tishman , both of these companies hire from the internet , make sure you put down the cards you already have . Walk around 24 street , 10 ave 9 and 8 ave area . . Good luck Mike

Your welcome , good luck .

Not really sure of people out of the USA , i am not certain how construction is doing out of USA . Mike

No problem , Now just hit the streets , Mike Espo....

Could you pls provide the link of these 2 courses?

Fire safety card .

Right now no one is hiring in NYC, due to the riots and Covid 19 and waiting for the new President to happen , a lot of jobs closed up . NYC is really empty .

@@diecast_MikeEspo so in 2 or 3 years time would be a better idea?

@@SkitzProductions I pray that it does not take that long , i can not know , my company now has 40 guys who are not working , NYC is a mess .

That is a hard question, There are many jobs in construction these days. So many times i have been asked by many people about union jobs , yes union jobs are great to work on and they have great benefits, but the word is BUT how do you get a union job if you do not know anyone who is in the union. In some cases you need a person who is in a union to get you a job. Construction is great in NYC right now , so if you really want a job you must walk the streets and ask people that you see outside of a construction site. In Queens LIC , a construction job is on every block. Now is the time . GET out in the street and talk to people , your not going to get a job sitting in your house looking at a computer all day , talk to the people . Union or non union they both build buildings that are in the big league ... Mike Espo

i'm a union worker maybe you get lucky and you can start as aprentice labor, butt if you want go to the ofice that you want to, they will give you the info.

Go union, Non-Union companies exploit there workers, lower pay no health benifits and take advatage of there workers. Be persistant, shape jobs im an operator local 15 nyc took me 3 years of not giving up and shaping jobs calling the business agents to finally get a shot and get my union book. Carpernters union just had applications and will continue. you can go on labor.ny.gov to look at what apprentiships are coming out

As a Engineer , to work on site you will need just the OSHA 10 Card . or if you want OSHA 30 card , same information as OSHA 10 , but more information about safety .

Thanks for watching , Mike Espo...

Give me one day and I I will get the right numbers , no problem , Mike

Oh, that's great! Thank you so much.

Mike, did you find out how much Concrete Safety Managers make? I'm taking the course right now but nobody gives me a straight answer.

All you need to do is walk around the city , there is 2 constructions site on every block . Mike

Yes , Hudson yards is building up on 10 ave from 34 street to 42nd street . LIC Queens , Queens Plaza area , still being built up . Just walk around NYC , talk to workers on sites , Good Luck . Mike Espo..

Yes , a few big construction company's do hire for summer help . Try looking on these website , Bovis , Thishman LBG which is Leading builders group, if your up to leaving your name and info on 30 different sites someone should call you , thanks for watching , Mike Espo..

Thank you , and thanks for watching . Mike Espo..

Does anyone know what school in Queens is good ? Or in Manhattan?

@@diecast_MikeEspo never did Construction ln my life.my background is security.30 years l need work.did what you said,got hired ass a flagman.promblem ls lm in georgia,where lm at only pays.9 bucks an hour.l took lt hope get experience.my girl friend stays ln new york coming there ln.sept no.l will be making lot more there.

@@maia971 Total safety , in LIC

@@keithgreen6638 Yes , you will make more money in NYC .

If you have union book , then i am sure you can call or go to your hall for a job ? If it is out of state , then call and ask what union they are connected to in New York, they might be able to help you. Mike Espo..

Hi , You can try this area , on 10 ave in NYC , from 24 street to 79 street , this ave is very busy , walk on 10 ave , you will see a lot of new construction . Also make sure you bring proof of the the 2 cards that you have and valid I D . Mike Espo...

Mike Espo diecast customs & more thank you Mike. I freelance as a professional photographer, was with the NY Post and Dan Rather for years before going out on my own. I’m looking to break into construction photography. I figure I’ll start at the bottom to meet some people first, and then network my way into it. But do you have any friends or companies that you know of that need photographers or videographers? I look forward to taking you out to lunch someday for all this info and help 👍🏼

I am not sure , but i do know every state or city does require some type of card for training . Mike Espo

I have an engineer on my site now for underpinning , he has his OSHA 30 card so that he is allowed to be on site . Now everyone must have a 30 hour OSHA card to be even on the smallest site , or the big sites . So if you plan to work in NYC , you will have to get it . Mike Espo..

I understand. What I meant is do you think walking on job sites can also get you engineering jobs or project management jobs if you have both those cards? Can I send you my resume?

I will get you a phone number of the group that is on my site , you can talk to someone there . I will get back to you , Mike

@@diecast_MikeEspo Thank you Mike.

@@diecast_MikeEspo Hey I was trying to find your email for a quick reminder. If you by any chance have that number here is my email. cornatov@buffalo.edu

First I guess you have to get to America. If you want to work , you can . Mike Espo .

Wait a few years to be sure you can see over the steering wheel , that would be a good idea .

Would appreciate an answer thanks mike

Most of all carpentry work is done inside . First look up the NYC carpentry union , and apply for the apprenticeship program , i think the school for them is around 24 street , i am not sure . Or find a cabinet making shop , that is a shop that builds kitchen cabinets, in a shop you will start out cutting wood parts and then learn from them. Carpentry is a very good field , when you get really good at it you can build anything out of wood , and that's when the big bucks come in, custom work . Mike Espo . Good Luck..

That is good , NYC is still very busy , just walk on 10th ave and see all the jobs . Mike Espo...

Yes , but the best thing for you to do is to walk the streets of NYC or LIC Queens . Construction is at it,s best right now , some blocks have 2 sites on them. Good luck Mike .

Also watch part 2 of that video , and see how that girl got her foot in the door. Mike

thanks for your valuable reply

Hey Tim , to funny , but i will answer your question , Very important .

Do the hirers look at academic records?

I don't think so . But some times they do ask for a resume , hope that helps.

Hi , i do not do the hiring , sorry . But NYC is so busy now , just walk around and see all the sites . Mike Espo...

Right now many states have a lot of construction jobs , New York , New Jersey, Florida . It sounds like you have enough certificates to start as a safety coordinator , this is a good job and in demand. New York City has a site on almost every other block , so i do not see you having a problem finding a job. Mike

So far where have you been looking in New York ??, Did you watch part 2 video >???

I did watch the part 2 sir, I am a flagger myself with experience I been looking around Brooklyn and Manhattan but no luck.

You should try to go to 10 to 15 sites a day for one week ? Did you give that a try ??

no sir

Go Go , hit the streets , make a game of it , you will have to try it . Better then staying home and doing nothing . Mike

That sounds great , i think at this time you need 8 years in high rise experience first. Check with DOB buildings NYC , they will have all the requirements , the requirements do change every year . Good Luck Mike .

Its the same here in NYC to, but a lot of people still do not come back to get the job. Mike Espo...

If you want you can work with those items now , and if you do like construction , you can go to trade school in a year ? Just an idea . OSHA 30 .Good luck Mike Espo.

Good luck my friend.

It cannot hurt , NYC has many new sites opening everyday, all you need to do is walk around NYC and look and see for yourself . Best time to be in construction is now . Thanks Mike.

yeah ok if not him someone just like him walk for 2 hours talk to 12 foreman, have your vest, boots, the two cards no sweatpants blue jeans be sober. Nyc is booming look and be ready to work. He said that foreman an supers chat amongst themselves good luck lad.

I Started as a laborer 2 yrs ago. Today I'm a highway inspector..

Thank you , and thanks for watching , Mike Espo.

Thanks for watching , Mike Espo...

Thanks for watching, Mike Espo .

Hi , no you do not have to be a member of a union , at this time there’s so many jobs that are non union , you just have to apply and show up for work . Good luck . Mike Espo .

It is very hard , but if walk up to 50 different job sites an ask to speak with the electric foreman , and the foreman comes out to the street to talk to you , just ask for the entry level job , do not bring up apprenticeship , if they hire you as a helper and you turn out to be a good worker then the apprenticeship will follow . Try NYC , it is so busy . Mike

Mike Espo Thanks for the input! Should I have anything else or just the qualifications you mentioned in the video?

Just the OSHA 10 card and a flagging card should do fine .

It is confusing, go for your SST card . Every site it is needed on . Good Luck If you have time , go get your Fire safety card , you can get it in Brooklyn , it is a good card to have . I think it only cost 25.00 , and you can use it on a lot of sites . Also not that hard of a job to do .

@@diecast_MikeEspo I completed the training for the SST card last week, I'm waiting for the card in the mail hopefully I get sometime this month. I would definitely look into getting my fire safety card. Uh Do you know the actual place in Brooklyn I can go to it would definitely help and thank you for the information.

Hi , it is 9 Metrotech center in Brooklyn. 718-999-0779 , they should give you study material, and then you can go back and take the test . Good luck . Mike

@@diecast_MikeEspo I got my osha, sst, flagger, scaffold and working on my f-60 can I come work for you?

@@Richloouser I do not do the hiring , sorry . But a lot of NYC are hiring for a lot of jobs in construction right now . Just get out in the streets and look , you can see so many open sites . Mike

NYC is picking up again , jobs are restarting , try looking into Local 79 . Union Laborers . They have a office in NYC , and a school in LIC Queens .

Do not take it on line . If you are in NYC , many schools have it , if not just goggle it and put the area near your home . Hope that helps , good luck . Mike

At 16 , see if you can find a local builder around where you live . Maybe a cabinet maker shop or tile store , and ask if they need a helper who wants to learn while he cleans up the shop . Good Luck .

So is the rest of America. 😂🙄😂🙄

A Flagger . A worker , man or woman, who holds a 🛑 stop sign or an orange flag . And directs traffic or slows traffic down. It is an important part of construction 🦺.

NYC is so busy right now , walk the streets and talk with foreman's outside of construction sites , Also LIC Queens is so busy , Queens Plaza .

If you want to go to Long Island Queens NY , 11101 . The address is 4253 21 street. This is a training center for Laborers and Masons , You can ask them if they are hiring laborers . It is a Union , Local 79 . They might be able to help you or put you on a list .It is a good union . OR , Ask them what NYC companies are hiring laborers at this time . Bring all your cards with you and I D , do not be afraid to show them all your cards. Mike Espo...

Hi , Sunny Unfortunately, a lot of sites in NYC right now are closing , part due to COVID 19 , the riots , unrest in the streets , and people moving out of NYC by the thousands . My company had 80 workers in the start of this year , we now are at 35 workers. I really don't know any sites that are hiring at this time , most companies are waiting to see who the President is going to be . Maybe 2021 will be the start for a new year and new jobs .

@@diecast_MikeEspo Thank you mike. I am still trying and just completed my OSHA 30, let’s see how it goes.
