These days it hard just to be a splicer and get work.
Because you can cut, core and tighten a connector is the very basics. You also have to make it look good and everything has to be exactly the same everytime. It must be second nature and be able to do it blind folded.
Most jobs out there are for upgrade splicing.
Which requires powering knowledge, you must be able to figure signal losses.P1 or P2 cable. Do you have the right fitting. Lets not forget activation.
The ability to read and UNDERSTAND prints. Many of the prints I am given are wrong and you need to know how to pick it up.
There is so many more things here that I am leaving out I could write a book on.
It all comes with time and experiance.
You could make the transition to a cutter, but with the prices these days to make any money, I would not quit my day job.
Your best deal is to be inhouse on hours.
Not trying to scare you away, but there is not a big calling for just splicers out there anymore and you need to be able to do it all and quickly to make any money.
