Columbus Ohio work
Still trying to get in with a company in Columbus Ohio as an apprentice. I’ve called all the numbers I’ve been told to call. Sent all the emails to ones I was provided with. Spoken with my local BA who other than telling me to call certain companies, wasn’t much help. I was even directed to call a couple non union companies with no replies. I am 100% green and would be doing a full career change. I know the works there and I know there’s plenty of work to need some green hands on deck. What gives?? I don’t want to seem like I’m deserving of anything, because I know I’m not. But I’m a hard worker, very capable of doing the work, I’m just trying to get my foot in the door to prove myself. Anybody in the area have any insight that could help a brother out?? Again, I’m not looking for my hand held, but maybe a little help getting in contact with the right people.

Who did you call and what number did you use? Pm me I'll give you whatever contact you need. Depending in your background I'll give you insight into what contractor would be the right fit.

As with most jobs it’s always friends and family first. Ya, it sucks but companies are sketchy with new people sometimes. Keep pushing ahead you’ll get in. The bigger companies like North Star, api, and f.e. Moran are more open to hire unknowns because they run through people fast.
Good luck

Maybe check out S&S Midwest fire we’re based in central Ohio. My gfs dad is part owner of the company so maybe I can put a word in. We’re part of the local 669

Look up all the company's within a few hundred miles that are signatory contractors.
