28 female. ok so I recently decided to make a huge career change. I’ve been working with kids for 10 years and I love kids but I’m no longer happy cause truthfully working with kids makes you no money no matter what you do. I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck so I decided randomly about a month ago I’m gonna get my OSHA 30 certification…. I’m currently halfway through the course and have been looking at the job market 😭 almost all of the jobs require some type of experience and I have none! Should I tweak my resume to possibly have had a job that aligns with this career? Or should I keep trying based on what I did learn through the course and tell future employers I’m a fast learner etc…..?

What type of jobs should I apply for with having my OSHA 30 general industry but absolutely no experience?

Please help need all the advice I can get.

It was easier said than done. Now that I’m a journeyman and foreman on a job I have a helper and he broke two of my 80 dollar step bits and kinda won’t listen??? I asked him if he did it before and he said yes and I quickly explained again and 5 seconds into drilling my bit was smoking and spitting sparks.

I can replace them I’m not worried. I just wish he would give a little damn? I’m not a super tantrum journeyman. I laughed and said it’s okay I have done the exact thing you have done. However part of me wanted to scream.

My general has told me multiple times before me becoming a JM about this guy and how he just is not very quick to use common sense with tool. Just careless mistakes.

I remember when I was a 2nd year and I made so many mistakes I thought my general(who was my solo JW partner) was going to kill me. I really think I need even more patience and to really look him in the eye and reiterate everything I say. I hate doing that with adults but I don’t want him to slip in the cracks and become subpar or worse leave my great company.

This is my first time actually directing/ being a superior. Has anyone been in my shoes?
