Plumbers Helper
Poor Man Plumbing
Tupelo, MS
06.2018 - 03.2020
I worked as a plumber’s helper for Poorman Plumbing which entailed mostly residential maintenance work
I have helped the plumber tear old systems out from trailers and put new systems in
We also fixed hot water heaters or installed new ones
We used different types of tools to clean clogged drains
My boss loved me because I was a lot smaller than him, and he knew I didn’t mind getting dirty in those places under houses/trailers that were too tight for him
He was a good plumber and a great man who taught me a lot
I would still be working with him now or at least by now I could have had my trade, but his business slowed down to the point that I would have a hard time making a living on what he could afford to pay me, so I ended up going to work at Homestretch Furniture in Nettleton, Ms where I not only made more but also had great benefits

I worked as a ground man at the asphalt plant where my duties included preventive maintenance such as greasing bearings all over plant and fixing things that messed up like a torn conveyor belt

I enjoyed the work, but they let some people go and I was the last hired so when winter came around I had to find something else

Additional Information
I would like to add that I did not list some jobs on my resume so if there appears to be gaps between employers that is not necessarily the case. I helped multiple contractors, such as Poor Man Plumbing, with some remodeling jobs. We did everything from total demolition work to rebuilding everything to customer’s satisfaction. I’ve helped a pest exterminator with a couple of his jobs too. Truthfully, I have never known for sure what I would like to do career wise, so I have a lot of experience with different fields. I turned forty this year and I realize how important it is to have a trade to be successful. I’m hoping for a chance to learn a trade where I can work my way up with a good company that will give me a chance to prove myself worthy. I hope to hear from you. If for some reason, I can’t answer the phone while I’m working, PLEASE text and I will return your call ASAP. THANKS and have a great day.
