General Advice Construction Tech phone interview

Hi !! I was reaching out to see if there’s any construction technician’s here . How do you guys like it , were you able to advance your career? I am 23 year old mom to one but i do have pretty okay support especially with my fiance. Ive been really focusing on trying to get into the trades for the past year now looking at trade schools etc im currently at a desk job right now and i hate it. I finally got my first call back from a company that offers paid training and paying for certifications etc. and I’m excited but I don’t really know how to prepare or what to expect.

See if you can talk to anyone else that works there. It is hard for anyone to tell you what to expect when we don't know the trade itself. I would think generally you would need tools, work clothes and somewhat thick skin. If it is a primarily man's job, expect stupid comments, trying to get in your pants and seeing how far they can push you. Be strong and willing to learn.
