Hey guys,
So I'm starting a new electrical job in 2 weeks with my friend who's the head of the company. So I'll be on the books but I don't know if it's a formal apprenticeship or not, but I don't mind since I just want to work and learn.
Anyways I have barely some experience with my last shop where I worked for about 9 months until COVID hit. I got laid off and didn't come back. Now I didn't learn much there because there just wasn't much work at all for the company, most of what I did do was actually telecom and low voltage. A lot was on my part because of personal things making it hard to learn. But I showed up everyday, on time, worked any overtime, showed them I wanted to learn and got along great with everyone.
So now my question is, what do you recommend I study up on before I start this new job? I really want to prep myself and show them that I can make them money. I think he does mostly residential while I did only commercial. I can bend 1/2" and 3/4" well enough, I just need to refresh. But what can I do to practice residential stuff at home? Buy some 2x4s and just box and bore?
Sorry for the long text, any help appreciated! Thank you
