  1. 6 Pieces of Advice for Aspiring Electricians

  2. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of employed electricians in the United States is around 1,067,069 in 2021. This number has been growing by 2.7% on average since 2016. The number of electricians is double the required number of tradesperson.

  3. Many people pick this profession because of the availability of a wide clientele and work opportunities. Of course, in this digital era, all industries and most domestic affairs rely on electricity. This means that electricians don’t have to struggle to find customers like some industries that have a niche market. However, this has given rise to another challenge- the saturation of electricians in the market. With so many electricians providing their services in the field of electricity, there is a need for electricians to present themselves in a way that they can stand out in a competitive market. In this article, we have discussed 6 tips that can help you stand out from the rest of the tradesperson. Let’s see what those tips are.

  4. 1. Do your research There are many courses and diplomas available that can help you start your career as an electrician. These come with their own licenses and certifications. You can pick any course based on your requirements and budget. Before your get registered in any program, it is important to do a bit of research about that particular course. Find out what that course can offer you, how it can help you in your career, how it would position you in an already saturated market, and so on. Once you know the answers to all these questions, you can make an informed decision about the course.

  5. 2. Meet the minimums Well, this one needs not be even said because this is something understood already. Make sure that you fulfill all requirements before applying for an apprenticeship or technical school. The mandatory age requirement of 18 years must be fulfilled. This is a requirement for all high school diplomas. Other than this, you must have color vision because electricians can differentiate between various circuits and nodes on the basis of their colors. The colors of wires also help them identify certain aspects of connections.

  6. 3. Prepare yourself An electrician has to be physically fit and strong because he needs to lift heavy items while performing his job. Also, they have to climb, bend, and squat if they are working with electric poles or connections at a height. At times an electrician might have to squeeze into a tight space for addressing tricky issues. If you are an aspiring electrician, then make sure your body is healthy and in good shape. This will help you remain safe on the job, and also allow you to be efficient in performing professional tasks.

  7. 4. Think critically While it is a good idea to memorize codebooks and techniques, but you can’t possibly be at the top of your game if you can’t diagnose a malfunctioning. To become the best in your field, it is important to understand problems and issues and then work for their solution. You can’t become top of a line electrician if you don’t learn from troubleshooting issues. Other than this, electricians can make their job quick and efficient by knowing the nature of tools and the situations in which they will be beneficial.

  8. 5. Pay attention Keep in view all the resources available to you. This includes experienced electricians around you. You can benefit from their experience, craft, and knowledge to polish your own skills. During the apprenticeship, you have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals. Take advantage of this situation and develop your own way of working while you have guidance available to you. Be open to learning, adaptability, and learning. This will enrich you as a professional.

  9. 6. Keep learning There is no end to knowledge. There is no limit to which one can acquire knowledge. Just like that an electrician’s education never ends. While the basic knowledge helps electricians to perform main tasks and resolve basic issues, in order to get to the top one has to learn new technology, system, and code changes. Keeping yourself updated with the latest developments such as smart houses, electric cars, and other electrical systems will allow you to be on the top.
