Stockperson Hours Local 46 Advice Please
I’ve interviewed for inside wire apprenticeship program and did not receive a satisfactory ranking. It was recommended that I obtain my blue card (which I have) and get at least 1000 hours as a stockperson to qualify for another interview and hopefully increase that ranking. However, I have been unable to get work as a stockperson so far. Is it typical to struggle getting hours for entry level work? Are things just really slow right now? Should I be looking for something else to get hands on experience?
I wanted to ask some more veteran brothers and sisters for any advice or insight as to how I should navigate this. I really want to improve my rank and get into an apprenticeship program. I don’t have experience with electrical so entry level work is really all I can qualify for. I’ve called around to local contractors asking for work and have had no luck.
