Hey there folks. I've been pondering this idea of posting a thread asking y'all this. Well sort of. It started off as a thought of free or cheaper labor. To where I would work with you to learn the industry. While I keep my full time job at one of the casinos here in SE Connecticut. I just wanted to work on my days off, which are Sun to Tue.

Now after seeing what I saw tonight, I just about had it with these gross people. (Who in their right mind will spit their dip on the floor indoors?) Tonight wasn't even the first time.

Nevertheless, I still would like to work here to pay my bills. But if someone is willing to provide me some work on my days off. Please contact me. If you want to pay little at first, buy me lunch or something. Fine. We can talk later if we feel I can do this.

Ultimately I like to get hours under my belt for an electrical apprentice. So if you can help me on that, whether yourself or someone else you know. Great. It's kind of depressing seeing every electrician in my area looking for 3 or 4 year.

Thank you for reading this.

If my brother in law still lived down there, I might of.

I guess I sold myself too short for others?

I am in CT. The problem lies more within the liability. Having guys on the job site that are their on my behalf either have to be on my payroll and covered under my insurance or provide their own insurance. Even if working unpaid. However I am looking for an experienced tech to hire. Your schedule wouldn't make it possible for us even if you had the experience. I do wish you good luck though. Hopefully you find someone willing to have to come in and help out/learn that is a bit more up your way.

Thank you for your insight godenzrule. I understand the liability part of it. If I had the right experience, I wouldn't mind leaving my current job. But I don't think that I have the right experience, as my reasoning for wanting to work part time to get it.

I honestly enjoy watching reviews on electronics on YT. But watching other peoples reviews and customizing it, which I've done with my a/v gear, are two different things. Heck, when I worked at a remote starter installer for cars. I've customized it for my liking and my boss was intrigued by what I've done. He used it on other cars and made the customer astonished. That was 12 years ago.

Ok guys, I’ve made a decision to leave my current job. I haven’t done it yet though. I would like to be hired full time with someone here in Connecticut before I give the 2 weeks notice.

I realize that I didn’t post much about myself, like my back ground and what not. So here goes…

I’ve graduated from Grasso tech in Groton in 98 from the electronics class.
I also graduated from Ridley Lowell in New London in 2011 for a electrical course. Where I should have my “class time” in to satisfy the state for a C6 or E2 license. Already talked with the state on this, just need someone (you) to be my sponsor. To start my hands on side of the apprenticeship program.

I’ve also been helping my parents with rentals that they had since I was a child. Until they got rid of them, oh about 15 to 20 years in drywalling and what not.

I’ve been dabbling in electrical and electronics for many years. Done some house wiring, in the rentals and other places.

My current job allows me to work on some component level replacement. However it’s been only one day a week as the person who’s been teaching me only works with me that one day.

Recapped hundreds of CAT-5 ends at work over the years. Soldered hundreds of connections, as well as re-pinned molex connectors.

Working in confined spaces, attics, crawl spaces and such are not a problem for me.
I recently helped a good friend of mine install a roof fan, so roofs aren’t a problem either.

Fluent with Mac OS X and Windows.

Basic WiFi, Ethernet networking.

I appreciate ya’ll looking at this and I welcome some sort of talk for an interview.

You may PM me or email me, the email is in my profile.

Thank you,
KOT
