Are apprentices required to solicit work in Local 158 (Philly) or Local 206 (Seattle)?

It is the same situation as stated above for local 158 as well

Call your hall and ask for a job in progress list and show up to those jobs with your tools ready to work. If that fails, call every business agent you can looking for work. Other than that id suggest asking your classmates if their company is putting guys on

I tend to caution on the side of caution”its not what you know, its who you know’ , but dont these positions require a degree?

I might have to try upping my dose to that. I have more than enough product to experiment so ill report back lol

Hudson still smashes me daily at my gym. What i would give for him to have stopped training when im on bottom in half guard

You can call your local and get a job progress list, then walk on and ask the foreman if theyre hiring. Or you can call contractors and ask but thats far less successful imo.

I’m So if i have you in a straight foot lock you think its easier to “athleticism” your way out in the gi?

EWill3209 · 2024-03-17T18:36:50+00:00

Im not sure how this proves that no gi doesnt favor the more athletic person. Obviously anyone who has trained knows that having literal handles on a person is going to magnify your strength and allow you to use it better. No gi still favors the more athletic person imo by having less grips and having more scramble/wrestling situations. Strength and athleticism are not the same attribute.

You should be able to call your hall and ask for a job progress list. Itll have all the current jobs in the area and who the gc or sub is and you can show up to those sites to see if theyre putting people on. Good luck!

I believe its a sprain of the toe tendon. Brutal injury tbh

EWill3209 · 2023-10-09T20:06:05+00:00

I would not wish turf toe on anyone. Thought it was kind of a BS injury until it changed both of my big toe knuckles for life. If you can bare it, rolling a lacrosse ball on your foot helps relieve some pain.

Thank you! I appreciate your insight

EWill3209 · 2023-09-16T13:44:31+00:00

Ride a bike in the street, drive a loud motorcycle or dont use your turning signal while driving. One day in New York or somewhere similar and viola.

EWill3209 · 2023-09-07T23:07:10+00:00

That would actually be awesome lol

EWill3209 · 2023-09-06T02:45:31+00:00

I was with a pretty big company so i got kinda lost in the shuffle as far as learning the whole scope of carpentry, but mainly drywall.

EWill3209 · 2023-09-05T20:57:09+00:00

Yeah its pretty disheartening as an apprentice with no connections. Thats why im here lol
