I’m washed and not plugged in no more, I’m lost what this mean? Show a few examples?
Thanks
Everything below is just my experiences so take that into account.
Now this is going to sound obvious and kind of dumb and I'll explain why but if they are offering to train you up for the job, it can definitely be done.
From my experience, techs are kind of in two categories. In my group, they're basically engineers without a degree. What they lack in formal education and knowledge in math, theory, physics, etc, they make up in real world experience. So it's usually very experienced mechanics/operators/fabricators who we rely on, especially to help new grads that know how stuff works on paper but not so much in real life. You could never apply cold to this kind of job and we aren't setup to train someone fresh off the street to do this kind of job.
The other kind of tech is closer to a mechanic or a worker who might specialize in a specific process or job. The job you posted sounds like one of these. So at my work for instance we have techs that order and inspect our materials or ones that audit production processes, things like that. These types of jobs you can definitely get trained on and so we have a pipeline and training program set up to do that.
For an electrical utility job like the one you posted, there's naturally going to be a lot of training cause electrical jobs always do and it sounds like a process based job so I'm almost certain you can do it coming in cold.

For example I came across a YouTube short of a basketball player making heads up smart plays. The caption is "tyrese haliburton iq gotta be studied".

that's what it's all about to me, always good to meet new people and learn new things. might open up some really good doors for you.
as an equipment operator that would be a cool job for me, especially since we run in severe conditions. it's -20 now and we'd be running if it wasn't for the general strike and my bush mechanic skills are top notch.

Still irritated how we went from GOAT meaning greatest of all time to being able to simply mean GOOD.
Hell, folks use it as a verb for things they wouldn't even think twice about in a month.
That Anthony Black dunk was "goated" by so many and I'm like, "Yea sure. "
that's what it's all about to me, always good to meet new people and learn new things. might open up some really good doors for you.

Yeah I always feel like a boomer when I talk to people about the importance of networking. But it's definitely true. If you're a good worker and know the right people, it always works out

It’s true though, I don’t get jobs off just randomly applying. It’s always people I know

Nah if I want a job I just call the union and see what’s out there or call friends but one of my jobs they called me just because they knew who I was and knew my security clearances.
Same with all the airport work I do I have the clearance ready to go and they know it and the government who runs the airport knows me personally so they referred the contractor to me then that contractor referred me to port authority in ny.
I think the guys for smaller mom n pop places use thumbtack. I like big civil work though
