All right, what I've learned being an electrician, and I've been an electrician for 5 years, okay? So, here's a few things that I've learned. First of all, that saying electricians don't clean up isn't actually true, okay? I'm a residential electrician, and like if I left all my wire scraps at a customer's house, I'd probably get fired or not even get a callback. So, we always clean up. Number two, when you're working on a job site or a home, you got to be organized prepared with [music] all your tools and material. Make sure you got your drill bits, machine screws, screwdrivers. The amount of times I had to waste time and go to the Home Depot for like a simple lock ring or materials, it was just bad waste of time. And just be prepared cuz time is money. And lastly, number three is never rush any electrical job, man. Better to be quality over quantity. I don't mean That doesn't mean don't be efficient, okay? You want to have be prepared. But customers want to pay for quality install rather than a fast half-assed install. [music] It's like getting a haircut and a barber cuts you in like in 10 minutes and gives you a mid cut, but you'll pay double or triple for the guy who takes 15 minutes with a fire cut. Same thing applies for electrical. Follow for more tips.
