Confused and seeking guidance

[Dallen45]

Hello all,I have a question,my apologies if this has been asked before and this is not a rant or any just trying to figure out how to get in somewhere so I can start my career. I recently graduated from a trades school (June3rd) and I know I have the passion and drive to succeed in this trade, and was curious how to get the job to get the experience employers seek if you cannot get into a position to acquire the experience, or have I been going by it the wrong way and apply to companies that ask or require 2 or more years experience anyways?.. Thank you for taking the time to read this and any replies would greatly be appreciated

Hey good question, yes it has been discussed a little, but not with you, right??

This heat wave might get you somewhere.... Are they even giving you an interview?

[Dallen45]

No it hasn't, I just joined the site here last week,and been looking through the posts looking for any info on the subject.

I have had 3 interviews out of 50 or more since I left school, and the 3 were ones that were willing to train ,and I also passed every test they have given me,, so only thing I come up with is their hiring someone with the experience which i don't blame them for it

for what it's worth, we just hired two installers... One had some experience at a fireplace store, the other had none at all....

Some guys here say you have to start low.

Yes irt is worth hearing and I thank you for that, It doesnt bother me starting low and work my up, cause we all have start somewhere,and you cant get to the top of the ladder if you don't know how climb the ladder..

hi Dallen

I went through the same thing when i got out of school after about 4 months the schools placement finally found me an own truck and tools job. I must say there is zero training and very little support where I am but I did well in school and went into it as well armed for battle as i could. I make terrible money too)))) BUT.... I am out there getting valuable experience which in the end is what it's all about.
Might wanna check your schools placement too.
