    i need guidance on how to find a electronics job

    Ok I did some tech school and got jstd001 and ipca610 soldering circuit boards. Electronic assembly and I have a yr under my belt of doing TV repair. I can do LCDs and led but have trouble with plasmas and have worked on a few dlps. I would like to get a job. But I don't know what type of fields I could get into with this soldering certifications. Possibly would like to get a job going out in the fields to do house calls for TV repair. Can anybody guide me on what are my options or where to look. Thanks

      I retired from Offshore Industrial Electronic Technician. I had two year trade school but got a lot of certifications on my own.
      Look online at ETA .ORG or ISCET they have testing and certifications that are available through proctor ed exams at College's. The give you a list of books to read and study. They are not easy but you would be a step above others that apply for the same job.
      I am certified in Six different fields of electronics.

        What I'm asking is though is what type of jobs can I even get? Like I don't know what all fields could use me

            Doing TV repairs is not a good job and even running your business is very tough, but you can try.
            It's much better to service some expensive professional equipment like medical for example.
            Also hi-tech companies normally have R&D and test labs, there is some good work for technicians over there.

              TV/consumer electronics repair is dead as far as a business, Better to be a plumber or electrician or almost anything else these days.

                  Artist seeking to tinker with electronics safely
                  by Hypersapien
                  Howdy folks! I'm an artist in the video game industry, and my job entails making a lot of mechanical and sci fi assets. I thought it might be a good practice to start disassembling some electronics to be more familiar with how real electronics are manufactured and assembled, which is how i found my way to these forums.

                  When I started researching what tools I might need, I quickly encountered the warning "Some devices can maintain a potentially lethal charge in their capacitors, even up to years after last being powered on", which was enough of a scary thought for me to...

                  Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
                  It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
                  I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
                  I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?


                  Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?
