What sets someone apart out of school?
(TLDR: Im concerned about over saturation of people with A and P certs and would like to know any routes I can take to stand out to employers through other certifications, higher test scores if thats possible, etc)
I got accepted to school to get an A and P certification and will be going soon. I have of course heard the speech thats common for many blue collar jobs that the field is in demand, a large portion of the work force is retiring, etc.
I have also however heard that in the short term the feild may be becoming somewhat oversaturated with younger gen z, possibly because of tiktok and the like. Which I have noticed to be very true in my generation and most blue collar jobs, welding being an obvious example.
Im wondering what sets someone apart to an actual employer. My goal is to end up as a line tech or something simalar for a larger company like Delta or AA. Besides the obvious route of experience in smaller companies after certification is there a better score on the exams I can get that I could put on my resume? Is there other job adjacent certification I can obtain while in school that would be benifical? I already have a large amount of mechanical/hands on job experience sense I was younger with cars.
Thank you in advance.
