Tell us about your last 2-3 jobs including your job title, length of employment, what you liked about each job and why you left
Ralph Andrade: Well, for the past three years, I guess, or since COVID hit, I've been doing a lot of my own, my own side jobs. Um, one was a, uh, it was a, um, this was a food processing warehouse. They needed all their lighting to be done there, um, along with some outlets inside their office and their office is basically done, ran some cat fire for their networking, you know, the mirror normal electrical stuff. Um, the company that I worked with before that was uh Mike Trudeau Electric. We did, um, uh low income housing units, um, which is mostly residential except for uh, the parking lot where all, where we, um, had to hang pipe and, you know, run wire hand trans, you know, put a transformers, your basic electrical stuff and that was pretty much commercial. And, uh, that job was, uh COVID hit. So that's why I left that job. And, um, I guess so that, that's there you go. That's it.
