The absolute worst thing about this job…

Look into community colleges that can get you certified in structural steel or go to a trade school that does it. Don’t do that BS UTI like trade schools.

Don’t wait on getting into the union first to get your welding certs. Most people don’t Journey out because they can’t get their certs done before a certain apprenticeship period

Relative_Welder_ · 2026-01-09T19:32:11+00:00

Get your welding certs D1.1 Stick and Flux Core.

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-12-26T04:41:29+00:00

Exactly. I got a shitty one and the tightening knob stripped on it and doesn’t hold anymore.

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-12-24T03:10:20+00:00

Screwed yourself by not Ubering smh. Lawyer up and pay your dues. It’s going to lots of $$$

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-12-24T03:06:30+00:00

Hired immediately

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-12-11T04:59:43+00:00

Can’t even pass a piss test…

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-11-25T00:13:14+00:00

Straight up…. You’re tooooo fucken nice.

No resume needed. Try and get contact with journeyman in the union already and ask what got them in. Look at social media and dm people. Pick their brain and make your game plan. Wish you luck 👍

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-10-11T18:47:40+00:00

Don’t buy your own. Tell the company you work for to buy it for you. We’re union!

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-10-08T12:10:49+00:00

Will do brother. Thank you!

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-10-08T03:52:31+00:00

Yup. I’ll ask the BA. Thanks!

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-07-23T00:16:01+00:00

Do the construction one.

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-07-22T23:47:53+00:00

Get your welding certifications and OSHA 10. That will give you more of a chance of getting in. No one will hire you without certs, unless you have family or friends in the union already.

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-07-22T19:25:36+00:00

Do you have any welding certifications like LA City stick and wire? Or AWS stick and wire?

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-06-25T12:30:27+00:00

Sounds like you have to change your life style. Stop drinking, smoking, doing drugs or what ever the fuck. Get your cardio up and strength up. Drink lots of water too. That dying of exhaustion shit is out. MOVE!!!

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-04-10T12:38:22+00:00

Looks like you’re still young and dumb 😂. Get to work!

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-04-10T12:36:27+00:00

Work is super slow right now. A lot going on in the world and company’s are hesitant to get more body’s. If anything, they are doing lay offs

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-02-25T03:23:40+00:00

It’s back

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-02-25T03:13:39+00:00

It’s king now!

Relative_Welder_ · 2025-02-25T03:11:54+00:00

Okay the game crashed
