Unlike other trades related to the installation and maintenance of homes and businesses, electrical technicians need to have special precaution with security matters, since a deficient performance of their job or lack of knowledge, may result in life threatening situations for them or their clients. Therefore, a good electrician must have experience in the field that can guarantee the duration and quality of the job. On the other hand, its vital to be familiarized with the international, national and local safety rules.

Now, here are some basic notions that will help you develop a successful practice as an electrician and make your reliable results transform into recommendations from past clients:

• Always carry the necessary instruments for any job. From pliers, wire strippers, screwdrivers, etc.
• Have an excellent knowledge of all types of circuit and electrical flows.
• Be in shape, have dexterity, coordination and balance. Be in perfect physical condition that allows you to crouch, bend, stand or kneel for lengthy periods of time.
• Think differently to find different solutions to complex problems.
• Know perfectly all the safety regulations in force. All your work must have safety as its main objective.
• Be committed to your work. Be always punctual, responsible and respectful of the budget and the agreed time frames.
• Patience and lots of daily practice to improve day by day.
• Be very creative with the decisions and actions you perform.
• Always have a clear and organized work plan

Remember that, as an electrical technician, the result and quality of your previous jobs is your main presentation letter and the sole guarantee of the success of your practice. Your reputation is the only way of preserving and expanding your client network, securing new contracts and gaining recommendations.
