    Default NWJATC and Northwest utilities / co-ops

    Hi, I have been in linework for almost 2 years now in Texas, I am a C Lineman by my company's standards. I am originally from Oregon and would like to return there ASAP. My latest interview however ended when I was told I didn't have enough hot stick experience. This was for a groundhand position at a Co-op in Oregon. My first question is how am I supposed to get hot stick experience in a glove state? And how important is it to other places, like the NWJATC for example? I am just trying to get a groundhand job up north as I understand my training is much lower than that of the NWJATC's. What can I do to make myself more appealing to employers up there,? My next step is to apply to the NWJATC and I need to know what they like. I moved down here to get experience and to show that I am willing to work hard and do whatever is necessary to get a job, but am I wasting my time if nobody likes my experience for any level position?
