Synopsis:
Unlike the average white collar professional who works for one boss or needs to re-sell themself to a new job market, electricians have a strong voice in determining which general contractor they will work for, if any at all! There is a wide spectrum of general contractors in the workforce and aligning yourself as a subcontractor with the right ones will pay dividends in work satisfaction, profitability, simplicity, and dignity. In this video, Joel Walsman will share his observations of good and bad contractors throughout his 15-year career, the little clues to big inefficiencies, and how to diversify your workload to ensure peace and stability.

Though targeted more to the electrical business owner, we think these recommendations and points of professionalism are employable by electrical masters, journeymen, & apprentices alike.
