Hello all
I am a apprentice electrician here in Michigan. I am studying for my journeyman exam taking it in a month or 2, but i plan on moving out of state eventually and been looking at jobs in different parts of the USA. and i know there is a whole lot of things that are out there to learn in this field. I just don't know where to start. i have allot of residential experience some commercial and industrial. I feel as though my apprenticeship is about to end and the place i work at has taught me allot, but not enough its a small company with 5 total employees and everyone thinks they know everything and no one has an open mind that theirs more to learn. So i think thats there downfall. Basically i just don't know how to better myself as an electrician after my journeyman exam. what are the things you look for as an employer in an employee to have knowledge in? what other further education will help me understand the field of being an electrician and as well make me a better candidate to a new job. basically i dont want to be like the guys at my shop getting older stuck in there ways and closed minded. My personal opinion there all stuck where they are and they all know it. any advice and schooling online or in class or opportunities i can take to better my self and my resume? i appreciate any and all responses
