I'm a Rockwell guy from PLC 5 days to Studio 5000 today. Food processing and paper mills mostly. The great thing about being an E&I Electrician is that you can roll your toolbox into any city anywhere and find a job in a week.

Prove you're safe, can work on live circuits safely, show no skin grafts, and can interact with operations folks, and you're in like Flynn.

I've found Wisconsin, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Arizona, Nara, and Kyoto, to be great places. I just go wherever my wife goes in her job, then make a few calls once we get there to find something. Use an agency if you have to. Austin Allen or Aerotek. If you know a few headhunters they can be of great help. Don't use one's you don't know though.

Thank you, I have skills with PLC5’s to Studio 5k as well, I love those bulletproof dinosaurs (PLC5’s), unfortunatly I don’t have a degree or formal education which makes me have to fight harder for a position. I learned programming through discovery and had to teach myself coding from C to java and now Python. Had to learn structered text for Ailing-badly and scripting for Redlion.

“show no skin grafts” — HEH, HEH. Do they make you roll up your sleeves and pantlegs?
