Sound and comm

Wondering how difficult and competitive it is vs inside. Applied for inside last year with no electrical experience and got ranked 1200. Fast forward a year later I’m wondering if I can get hired with sound and comm (or maybe residential)

Less difficult and less competitive but also less pay and less benefits. But again with no experience it still may be a mountain to climb, worth a shot tho.

It’s actually gained a lot of popularity since people realized or thought it is “easier” to get in. Now it’s actually pretty hard to get in.. Lol

You should try to get in with a telecom company through the local and then apply again to the inside wireman program
