My tip for new apprentices. If they are explaining directions to you, and you are not 100% certain what to do. ask them to show you visually. it helps so much the first year

@jeffreyarena6199 4 месяца назад

Dude, yes. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves working with someone super green. If you don’t understand, then tell me. Don’t just guess.

Pretty intimidating walking in as a fresh apprentice with no prior construction experience. I was just staring at what my journeyman was doing half the time. It was very humbling but I'm ready to learn.

@OzzyMane357 8 месяцев назад

I'm in the IBEW as a groundman truck driver on the outdoor power line side. My first day literally consisted of picking up trash in the yard all day lmao. Which slowly progressed to me being placed on one of the line crews until I found the right fit with the right crew. It's all about who you work with and how well you fit in, I learned a lot in that first job.

@TheDarthJesus 7 месяцев назад

Oof, IBEW? A great place to go if you want to be pigeonholed into a single role on a jobsite. Never seen them output any quality workers.

I’ve been in the restaurant industry since I was 12 helping family became a manager then and haven’t left till now… I’m so scared to take on a new career only reason I’m leaving is because the industry is falling apart and I know I won’t have to worry about it being in the construction industry. ( restaurants are struggling for help my family’s selling ours ( which I currently work at cause we need help majorly again we’ve been in business for 15 years now and haven’t struggled till the past two years with help )

My first day was mercy, second day was hell. I come from a background of mostly learned, and I didn't like school yet I have no experience or skill at all. Barely able to clean with the broom. First day was the digging of ditches and break the walls, then the second day was the montage of copex and cables walking up and down the stairs on a multiple floor house even though I had fear of stairs. It was horrifying. Got used to it in these last few weeks.

@EdEM90 16 дней назад

I was almost 5 months in my apprenticeship and left. The worst work environment and toxic people I’ve seen in my life. And Im not a newbie in construction. JM wouldn’t explain anything cause he said I was not supposed to know what it took him 20 years to learn. We almost threw fists more than once. I’ve never seen so many miserable people together. Definitely not for everyone.

No one at my company gives a crap about me, they want all the apprentices to stay down, it sucks, i like my job but im really trying to find a way to improve it, im not in any apprenticeship program, i wish i could be, ive been doing residential electric for 2.5 years now and it seems like the company i work for doesnt really care to teach you very much, its a big ego thing there and i dont understand it
