Current: Senior year of high school internship + college degree allowed me to get in.
The one I start in two weeks: Certs
..no lie, my lack of experience was killing me at first but eventually this company reached out since they like my resume and they hired me. I did all that through self study.

I'm working freelance now, so I get my jobs from networking with people, on and offline. Business is kinda slow this season, so I'm going to start cold calling/emailing other businesses.
The job I had before, I got from posting my resume on Career Builder. A staffing agency called me 5 minutes later, and I was at that job for 10 years. I got the job because I had It experience. They passed over someone with a degree, for me.

finessing
basically, I lied and said I had experience with maintenance work with my former job, and when push came to shove, I got paired up with the old head who likes to talk and does shyt for you, so i purposely would fukk up a light fixtures so he could do it the correct way, and I would pay close attention to how he would do it so when I would be solo I could knock it out.
stuff like plumbing, unclogging toilets/sinks etc isn't that complicated, just a lil trial and error and time, jobs like that you can fukk around and run out the clock.

Got my degree in something i didnt want. Heard nothing back from apps post college.
I got my job by starting as an intern and met his thru reddit. Super weird, not a heavy reddit user (most black folk aren't). But you can make easy connections by finding a subreddit that has to di with your field, and then searching it for the city you want to work.
I ran across a dude saying he worked in the city I wanted. He told me fly out and catch a drink with him at the bar by the job. Easy money. 5 months as an intern, now full-time for a yeat

Nepotism, the same way I found all my other jobs.
Funny thing is people that went to a trade school for years are making less than I do

Remember brehs the reality is who you know out shines what you know.

30 different recruiters calling me. Picked the one that worked with my school schedule
Director of operations and owner of a private company came to my old job to purchase something and they liked my personality/customer service. Offered me life changing money off of that. 
of course I had to work hard once I got there but I moved up to the second highest position in six months.

Networking.
My current boss visited my old job to conduct some business. Made small talk while she waited and she saw that I was overqualified for that job.
She put the word in with her company's CEO. Interviewed and got in.
Looking for the next opportunity now tho.
