Hello BMX Family,
Just got back from Reno and got a great gift! Laid Off Yeah! So if anyone out there is hiring an electrician or really anything at this point please let me know.

Thanks,
Micheal Ervin

P.S. I do side work

Your a sparky too?
Talk to Sheldon Dale (Taylor Electric) or check with the Union, they are begging for guys right now. Next time I see you we'll talk shop.

Are you a journey? If your into commercial work, I think I might have another contact with a friend. You can't watch a Jazz game without seeing the "Utahs best electricians" commercials (the Union). They also have flyers at the supply houses. If that is a direction you might want to look at they have a website too under the same title.
Let me know.

[mervin]

steve sorry to hear about your arm dude that sucks......how long you out for?

B,
According to the state of utah i am a 4th year even though i've been doing electrical for 20 years and have a contractors license from cali but being the state does not reconize cali contractors as journeymen they are makin me go to school which after all these years is probably a good thing.

Iv'e got to work next Saturday & I dont know when I'm geting off. Racing is out of the question for awhile as I fractured or broke my right thumb and jacked both of my shoulders. My Dr. tells me I'm a glutton for punishment, lol. My wife wants to race so I'll be out there sometime during the evening.

The trade is strange right now, like I said the Union like Cache Valley & Wasatch are very busy but the smaller companies are starting to feel the pinch. I work for a very small company & we have been way up or way down this year, mostly way down. I only earned 2/3's of what I made last year. The last cycle like this was right after the 02' Olympics, the bottom fell out for almost a year but came back strong.

Talk to you later,
Bruce

B,
sorry to hear about your injuries that sucks! well i really dont like the union but if its work i'll try to talk to someone over at cache valley or wasatch......thanks b

[stephen kisslinger]

damn...Mike did you get hurt, who hurt their shoulders? what happened?

[bnd]

Well from what I understand dealing with the Union you've got to go here.............

http://www.utahsbestelectricians.com

fire off an e-mail under "Contact" & they will get back to you.

I almost joined the Union a year or so before the Olympics , a spokesman took me out to lunch & gave me the rundown. It just wasn't for me though.

Michael:

I was told that the Tooele Army Depot will be opening recruitment for Electrical Engineering Technicians soon (although soon on government terms has many different meanings). I was told that they just tried to fill some laborer jobs ($20.00/hr.) and only had 3 of the 5 offers accepted. It was suggested that if you are looking for "anything" right now, put in for what they have and get a foot in the door so that when the technical jobs come open, you've already made a name for yourself.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you find their jobs at usa.jobs, look under Federal, Western Region, and then Tooele Army Depot (TAD).

This is the only lead I'm aware of!

Best Wishes,
Kami
