@Jack Tapley honestly the way I got into cabinetry was random I took a summer course at college last summer and it was a construction course and they made a resume for me and sent it out to companies and after the course was over weeks later a cabinetry company contacted me offering me a job and I took a chance because I wanted to do construction instead but I chose wisely because I been enjoying cabinetry even thoe it was scary at first. Just put in work join a course that will help or just be honest and contact cabinetry companies and tell them you may not know much but your willing to learn and your interested.
Thank you! I want to add. At least for me with no experience is overcoming the mental block and negative self talk…..I can’t do this, I have never been taught this from my father or anyone. It’s a massive deterrent. Get organized first. A tool belt, basic tools, then begin slowly and remember it’s ok to suck initially! Anything worth while you will be bad at initially. Pray, let Jesus build you up. It’s a great opportunity to overcome. God Bless!
Great video, I growing up in a Hispanic household, I grew up in very sex role household, mom pulling me to the kitchen, and dad taking the boys to work w him. I now own a house and don’t know and can’t do anything, I have been watching DIY videos to make a few repairs in my house. I have learned a lot, slowly increasing my tool kits. I am an accountant, therefore I like saving my bucks as well. What would be your suggestion and or recommendation for me as a unskilled female to land a apprentice handyman job??.
@@SincerelyWavey Ok. lol could that be any more sexist?? I’m with her- needing to do our own handyman work, with no other options but to take it by the reigns ourselves⛅️ Times have changed Will.
@@lauralei6963 do you even know the meaning of what you are saying? It’s people like you that just freely throw around terminology without a clue. Nothing I said was sexist you nincompoop. All I simply said was that her mother’s intention was for her to be married thus why her mother thought her how to be a healthy feminine woman which would then attractive a healthy masculine man that would take care of those duties. If you don’t believe in dynamics then you also believe that men and woman are fundamentally and biologically the same which makes you a fool, not to say that woman can’t learn these traits but the “ideal” was for her to be married to someone that has these traits. Before you call someone a sexist at least be educated enough to learn what the word means because nothing about me is sexist.
You can take free home improvement classes at hardware stores (Home depot used to do those pre COVID) or maybe join some free housing volunteer group like Habitat for Humanity? I’m just throwing guess I have no idea either
This sounds good advice, especially if you are younger. I think it is shameful that kids aren't introduced to basic maintenance and repairs for homes and cars. I am a late bloomer with this type of stuff, thanks mainly to youtube! I have progressed recently to handyman type jobs through 'word of mouth' referrals. Just a 'side hussle' at the moment, but steady growth. I would add a few tips: be polite, reliable, honest and fair, this will set you apart from most people.
Thanks for making this video. I am a new home owner with zero experience, knowledge, or aptitude with tools. Growing up I was taught learning tools were for uneducated people. Silly attitude but that's life. To put n context of how low my knowledge is, I only learned this year what a Philip's screwdriver is. I want to get more skilled to fix stuff around home. Thoughts? I am in my 50s so not looking for a career or anything.
Great video! I love working in home construction. Just something about working with your hands! I’m also looking to eventually have my own handyman business as an independent contractor.
Lol Tell that to my dad and uncle who dropped out of highschool 🤣 ... I'm starting to think twice about going to college when I see my dad's bank account
You don't. Most are not going to waste time teaching you if you don't know 💩 think about it they are in the business of making money not teaching. That is why Vo tech exists!!!
A title of handyman with zero experience shouldn't be a handyman.... Im mechanically inclined due to having to fix shit around my own house.. I have all the tools and am pretty inclined with basic framing, plumbing and electrical .. Ive cleared major sewer lines, can swap a ceiling light for a fan. Can paint. Change a toilet, clean AC drain lines.. i swapped out my water heater for a new one with basic knowledge.... I think i doubt myself sometimes and i work at Lowes but I always offer legit solutions for customers and some return items because they "cant do it" but for $100 I can pop in and do it for em . I'm not getting on any roofs or anything but I'm very well rounded both physically and mentally if ya catch my drift. IMO stairs aren't hard to figure out stringers when you go from top finished floor to bottom finished floor and you know your rise and run have to be up to code which is something like less than 18" combined.. usually 10" of run and be under 8" for the rise.. its simple math...
So it’s your 1 year of being a handyman now?! I’m 20 and looking into getting to be a handyman but very nervous n scared great video btw 👍🏽
It progressed into me working for a plumbing contractor. Now I have a company van I drive around!
@@MissionOverland that’s awesome I hope I achieve my construction business I’m really looking forward just a little intimidated.
@@Eduardo41ne5 how u go?
@@stevethea5250 I ended up being in the cabinetry industry and I’m loving it.

Thank you I am a beginner was looking for this information very informative
Very nice job!
hello. just want to ask apart from knowledge. do we need any kind of certificate to be a handyman in UK ?
Thank you! I want to add. At least for me with no experience is overcoming the mental block and negative self talk…..I can’t do this, I have never been taught this from my father or anyone.

how do you find a job to work for a general contractor

What would be your suggestion and or recommendation for me as a unskilled female to land a apprentice handyman job??.
I believe the idea was for you to be married by now. Your mother was trying to teach you how to be a feminine woman.

Thank you for being straight forward my friend. This video was so helpful the second it started. Have a good one!
You gotta have experience to be a handy man
So you are telling us to work as a handyman 👨🔧 we need to work a general contractor??
Thanks for making this video. I am a new home owner with zero experience, knowledge, or aptitude with tools. Growing up I was taught learning tools were for uneducated people.

Let's be real you can't be a handyman if you don't know 💩💩💩
Your good at making videos.. you should make more
Great video! I love working in home construction. Just something about working with your hands! I’m also looking to eventually have my own handyman business as an independent contractor.
If you don't have much experience. Start working on your own house that can help
All I can say folks there is a reason you have to go to school for 4 years to become a carpenter
should have said nothing instead ..
Lol Tell that to my dad and uncle who dropped out of highschool 🤣 ... I'm starting to think twice about going to college when I see my dad's bank account
Not sure where you live at but you absolutely don't have to go to school to be a carpenter here in the United states
There are handyman.... and carpenters totally different
how did you get your job working for a general contractor with no experience? did you just ask?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Where do I apply ?
You don't. Most are not going to waste time teaching you if you don't know 💩 think about it they are in the business of making money not teaching. That is why Vo tech exists!!!

this was really helpfull. I m looking into starting to do a handyman job so this definitely is going to help me.
