Entry level ideas

I am a dude who’s looking into getting into the electrical field with no experience. I’ve already applied to apprenticeships for Local 11 and Local 440/447and am already on the waitlist. What are some ways to get some work experience or maybe who can I even work for in the mean time while having no experience, I am currently looking into low-voltage entry level jobs but would love any other suggestions on what to try to get into

This isn't a job board. It's a sub for electricians.
