If you have completed years of military service and are looking to transition into civilian life, then we would like to first thank you for your service. Next, we want to invite you into a career as an electrician. A career in electrical services offers rewarding, hands-on work, practical skills, good pay, and reliable job security. At Neighborhood Electric, our skilled electricians work in a wide range of fields including industrial, residential, and commercial settings. However, electricians are not bound to be an employee. With experience, you can be a business owner yourself. Let us dive into the many reasons an electrical career is a good fit for veterans.
Work Requires Problem Solving Skills
Service members are expected to use critical strategic thinking to analyze factors that influence their situations. Similarly, electricians must have the capacity to assess the electrical system, evaluate the problem, identify the cause(s), and discover an effective and efficient remedy. The problem-solving aspect of electrical work makes things challenging but also exciting. If you want mundane and repetitive work, then being an electrician is not for you. If you are looking for something new every day, then consider a career as an electrical.
Use Physical Strength and Stamina
Physical fitness and readiness are huge in the military and you are likely hoping to make the most of your competitive advantage. Electricians spend considerable time out in the field and on their feet employing strong fine motor skills. The work also involves tools and heavy equipment. In this regard, veterans are fit to become electricians.
Interpersonal and Communication Skills
As an electrician, you are going to spend a good amount of your time interacting with clients as well as trainers, trainees, and colleagues. Naturally, this calls for strong communication skills which you have likely gathered through your experience working in teams in the military. That dependence and flexibility with your squad is crucial as an electrician.
Get Paid to Learn
Though there is financial assistance for those in the military, it can be stressful living on a small stipend at your age. You have bills to pay after all. Well, as an aspiring electrician, you can get paid to learn with on-the-job training. This way, you can knock out two birds with one stone.
Become a Business Owner
The corporate life or office life is not for everyone. Getting stuck in the rat race can be demoralizing. If you look forward to becoming a business owner yourself, then consider a career as an electrician. With time, experience, business savvy, and some luck, you can become an independent contractor or business owner. This route can pave the way for six-digit income. This should help you achieve the financial independence you likely seek.
Here at Neighborhood Electric, we are always looking for dedicated problem-solvers who are up for a challenge. If you are looking to become an electrician, then give us a call or explore our website to learn about employment opportunities.
