    That is an excellent install,the only thing that I would do differently is I would have bent that 3/4" emt with the 1¹/⁴" bender so the radius would match .

    Thanks for the support! They have so many options but if you’re doing electrical and you want to get your journeyman license one day you will have do your 4 year apprenticeship. They also have Generators Techs, HVAC Techs. But if you don’t have alot of experience you kind of have to start from the bottom & work your way up..👍🏽

    Great video and great job! When searching for work did you primarily look online or did you go door to door? I’m currently wanting to get into the trade and I feel like applying online with zero experience in the trade is negatively impacting my chances right now.

    Appreciate Shawn! I felt the same way when I was applying on indeed, nobody called me or emailed me.. I looked in my local area and called every electrical company & I went to a place in my local area which is called IEC. I went and applied and they send your application/resume to local contractors and I finally got a call back.. Thats how I got my first opportunity. Let me know how it goes Shawn!👍🏽
