Hey Beyond,
So recently I decided, I wanted to head out to the rigs and work some long hours for some good money.
I am currently a second year Automotive Service Technician. I enjoy it, but everyone I know works the rigs and have stupid amounts of money, people 2 years younger than me (Im 21) have put 25,000+ deposits on houses..
Im still living cheque to cheque to get by.
ENOUGH with the sob story though. All my friends give me for advice is hand out resumes.
But theres gotta be a better way. Ive handed out resumes to every company in my area (Medicine Hat). I have my class 5, no criminal record, decent drivers abstract, high school diploma, Im certified in electrical theory and diagnosis. I understand I dont have any tickets or class 1, and thats what they want...but how did everyone i know get those certifications through their work AFTER they got hired.
Any input is appreciated.
