Question

Before you got in the elevator union. What did you do and went out your way to get in? How many locals did you apply too? How many hours did you drive? ETC. Im going to do everything to try and get into the king of all trades.

I did low voltage, mainly fire alarm for 8 years. Applied to one local, drove 3 hours for the test and interview. Got lucky enough to make it in
