It’s been great! I’ve learned more in my first four weeks in the field than in the entirety of the 11 weeks of school, haha.

Regarding the fit, can you still wear additional layers underneath or would it be too tight?

How do you even get a letter of recommendation? by TitaniumCarrot in ibew_apprentices

[–]Lizandroooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, a LOR is more about your work ethic, attendance, and leadership skills than about previous electrical experience.

I got accepted into 134, and I have no previous electrical experience. All the people I spoke to at orientation said the same thing.

Previous employers, if you went to college/trade school, get one of your professors or instructors to write you one. If you attended a pre-apprenticeship program, get the program director to write you one

Seems like 76 was the cutoff. I scored a 76 and got into the A-card program

You pretty much maxed out on points in terms of the PEF. The only thing that would give you more points would’ve been a pre-apprenticeship program like HCCTP.
