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
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.
doesn’t help if they on a 20 foot ladder tho
My first day I went home sick bc I was so nervous I got a migraine and threw up 😂
How was the second day?😂
Was there a second day?
Bro 😭
lol omfg, this is probably the saddest thing I’ve ever read. 🤣
My first day I was doing labor work all day 😂
Just completed my first week of being a apprentice and mainly what I did was help fetch tools pick up the trash that was leftover and learned how to do basic things hand on.
Yessir welcome to the club
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.
Hey man, how’d things go with your apprenticeship!
Next Monday is my first day and I can tell you from now…I am soooooo stressed 😅 hopefully it goes well.
hope your first day went well.
@@arianewell6252 Thanks for asking .. it was great actually… almost a month now and I am really enjoying it 👍
How did it go
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.
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.
This is a great video! Very informative and helpful. I am moving on from working in IT with low voltage and data, wanting to get into the electrician field. All your videos are great and give me the confidence to switch to becoming an electrician apprentice. Thank you a lot!
Bro I am so glad to hear this! Thank you for sharing. Best of luck to you man
My first day is 7 hours from now, I can’t sleep and I am so scared 😭
How did it go??
How was it????
2 months late how is everything going I’m a senior rn and I want to go
How is it now?
@@kohlvictor2124 it’s great man, I’m learning a lot. Although the beginning is slow it does come fast. Make sure you keep notes on every name, and the reasoning for those things you are doing (wires, boxes and everything)
Awesome Video 🔥🔥🔥
Much appreciated!!!
I just cleaned up and learned the basics
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 is Monday! I’ve helped my buddy who’s a master, and my moms ex boyfriend when I was in highschool but never had a legit apprentice position until now! I’m 25 by the way!
I'm 24 about to be 25 and looking to learn as well. Nice to hear someone closer to my age is going through the same thing
@@landry3341I’m 24 I’m in college rn. I went for Industrial maintenance technology didn’t really like it like that I learned a little basic electricity getting that degree. Wanted to go more into Instrumentation & Electrical
24 as well. Just starting my path down this industry. Good look gentleman hope it works out for you both
My boss told me this job is not for me for a first year apprenticeship. They were doing fire alarms.
Yikes
More or less I got the same treatment after a month of commercial work but getting back into it.
Why did they say that to you? And are you still there?
My first day I learned that I don’t have the hips to hold up my tool belt. My waist was fucked by the end of the day. The suspenders by Occidental Leather are the best.
Mood. Welcome to the assless squad lmao
0:37 I had pretty good experience my foreman was really cool
My first day is tomorrow as an Industrial Electrical Apprentice.
Workwear sorted and some basic tools. I know from the afternoon ill have to buy a lot more tools.
Mines tmo, how is it 7 months later
@@grahammacarthur3864since he didn’t reply how is it a month later?
@@its_melo649__3 hahah learning a lot, foremen is a douche tho😂
Me and my buddy got hired togther first day we wired a marina alone. The boss willingly left us alone on a boat dock to see if we had what it took to work for him😂
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.
Fear of stairs? What about ladders?
@@MICHVEl12 My bad, I meant ladders.
@@kohlvictor2124arguably safer than an elevator 😂 those things are crazy
how many ladies have you worked with in this industry? I used to be in construction and in cabinetry. I was always the only woman in the room unless i was in the office...
i was doing labor all day my first day hahaha. didn't even go to my jobsite the first day, they had me doing chores outside in the 90+ degree weather. I'm assuming they just wanna see if you'll quit on the first day, which is understandable. Not me though
My first day is Monday on a commercial site and I am nervous as shit.
how did it go?
@@Texmma it’s chill as hell, commercial is where it’s at.
@@Sittnslideways Gg. Glad to hear out.
@@Sittnslideways how you doin now?
9 months later, how is it now?
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
Let me guess they don’t even offer you benefits or a 401k
I spent 600 this weekend at home depot but I was blessed by the credit gawds lol still need a multimeter tho 😂 🤦🏽
I would just wait on the meter. You should be doing anything that would require one for a little bit. Get what you need up front and then see what you need most next
You sound just like me😂
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.
My first I did paperwork all day
That was my first day as well. The first day thing is really an in the field experience
Is there any math that comes with being a electrician
yea lots of formulas
like what@@hemothy
@@olliefitzgerald2482 ohms law joules law voltage drop capacitance and a whole lot more, fairly simple math for the most part
Watching this after my first week Lmaoo
Start a channel bro
Bro, those hard hats are meant to expose apprentices today was my first day and I can stumbling into the job site fresh from my orientation with no clue on how to put together the hard hat
Hahahahaha I had the same thing happen on my first day
