Top Tier Temps

Nothing on my morning list ever slips through the cracks. I do it every single day before anything else.

Off the top of my head, I'll write down what has to be done and what's the priority. Then cross it off as I go. Do that every day and it trains your subconscious to get the job done.

You're not chasing the work anymore because you already know what has to happen, so you just go do it.

I've run my whole life this way, the business and everything else. Same list every morning is what keeps me moving instead of just reacting to whatever comes up.

Want to know if a guy really does fire alarm? Ask him if he'd touch a system on a Friday.

A real fire alarm guy won't. He knows once he opens it up, one wrong move and he's chasing it all weekend.

So he doesn't crack a system open at the end of the week. He waits till Monday when he's got the runway to do it right. Nobody has to teach him that. He learned it the hard way at some point, just like our founder did.

That's the kind of thing you can't fake your way through, and it's exactly what we look for before we put anyone on your fire alarm work.

Most apprentices these days are trying to pick a job based off one thing. The paycheck.

They call me freshly graduated, and no contractor wants a green kid as a temp. I can't place them, but I do spend a few minutes coaching them up. I tell them to do the research instead. A good contractor will teach you the trade properly, and that's worth more than anything on your check right now. A bad one will pay you the same and leave you knowing nothing.

So when you're weighing companies you have to think about what you'll actually learn there. The money will come after you've got the skills.

Our electricians have pulled knob-and-tube out of buildings most crews won't touch.

It's some of the earliest wiring this country ever ran. Open conductors, no ground, dangerous by today's standards.

You don't usually find it until you're already gutting an old building for an apartment conversion. Once it turns up, the job doesn't move until it's out. No insurance company is signing off on a building with active knob-and-tube still in the walls. So now the renovation's stalled, and you're tearing old wire out of a structure that's half-finished, doing it clean enough not to touch anything you shouldn't.

That's the kind of call we get. Our founder has done this work himself, so he knows exactly who on our team can actually handle it.

Most guys are good at one type of job. I want the ones who are good at both.

One of mine came up all commercial, and now I've got him roughing residential seeing how different it really is. Commercial is mostly 20-amp circuits, everything the same across the board. But residential is another game. 15-amp on this, 20-amp on that, dedicated runs for the countertops, every room a little different.

That's the kind of guy I want on my bench. The more types of work he can handle, the more contractors I can put him in front of and the more I can keep him working.

You need card access wired and half the electricians you call have never touched it. It's something our guys are good at and most aren't.

You got your rex motions that let you in and out so nobody's trapped in a room. Door strikes, door contacts.

And it all runs on banana cable, that's what carries your conductors, your card swipe, your strike, the motion, the door status, all of it in the one cable.

Regular electricians have never seen any of that because you don't learn it on a normal job.

So you call a regular agency for card access and they can't tell you if their guy really knows it or he's just saying he does, because they don't know it themselves.

We do, so we know exactly who to send. You're not finding that guy on a job board.

There's 600 electrical contractors on a list at the trade school, and these apprentices call every one of them. It's the worst way to get a job I can think of.

I'm on that list, so I get the calls. And I get why it's not working for them.

A lot of these contractors have had bad experiences hiring apprentices the last five, ten years. Too much turnover, too many kids who don't work out.

So stop calling. If you want the job, you have to do the work before you ever pick up the phone.

Know what kind of electrical work you want to do. Know which companies in Connecticut are the best at it. Go after those specifically.

And don't chase the money right now.

The shop that pays you a little less is usually the one that teaches you the most, and that's worth more than a couple bucks an hour when you're starting out.
