Technically, I wasn't hired in the strictest sense of the word. I was recommended to help the HO on his new shop. My experience comes from a lot of work in theatre (stage electrician), and reading Code books (NEC, IRC). Also, the only work I did was boxes, rec., fixtures, and cable-- the HO did all the panel work and final trim. As for pay, it was never discussed and although I assumed I was working for free they did end up handing me a check.
Edit- Please know that since I am entering telecom, I do not plan to pursue further electric work until licensed.
