Any electricians that can guide me towards the right school in order to learn the most about the trade? Also, is there any companies that specialize in electrical work that I could maybe apply to by just having my apprentice license and no experience? I’ve already applied at the IEC and IBEW local 716 but I don’t wan’t to wait till I hear back from both in order to start getting experience on the field. 
Also, is there any certificates that can make me stand out from other electricians and maybe help my career out in the long run? Thanks in advance for the help!

Get an OSHA 10, takes 2 days over 8 hours,

IEC should hire same day.

IBEW is best, 100% paid health benefits, Daily OT over 8 hours, guaranteed OT Saturdays, double pay on Sundays, guaranteed and scheduled pay raises. Have to pass math and reading comprehension test, and interview.
