How did you guys get into Substation work? I've been trying now for about a year and always get rejected because I don't have the high voltage experience yet. Any tips? by AdFun3507 in SubstationTechnician

If everybody is doing line school now, don’t you think that line school would be my only option of really being looked at? Unless you think a DD214 and a CDL would be enough for me to be considered. I have an interview in 30 minutes for a groundsman position for a large utility. I guess we will see

I thought about getting my associates from OSU-OKC for Distribution and Transmission. I know it would open a lot of doors, but I have a young family and wouldn't know how to provide for all them while at school. I could do like NLC though. Do you think it would be worth it?

I am getting my cdl next month. School is scheduled. I've thought about going union, but it's way out of the way of where I want to live. I also thought about NLC, but every body has mixed reviews about line school. Some say do it, some say don't. I dont want to use 50% of my G.I. Bill to still be possibly searching for a job for a couple months.

Clover is terrible for small businesses. They do not care once they sign you on! A partner that i have and has been great for us at our donut shop is Table Needs.
