New Apprentice , local 740, looking for work, any advice?

To keep a long story short, I want to work, it’s been almost 4 months since my initiation and osha training.

When should I be called? Is it just a season thing? Where work slows down in the summer? Is this common?

The “job shaping” lists are empty for millwright work.

The “daily referral” list, had no millwright work that I can tell.

I’m on both the weekday & weekend out of work list.

People say there is work and a lot of it, but where is it? Who do I call? How often do I call them? I don’t want to “pester” anyone for a job as i think that’s rather rude.

All the apprentices that I know , around 15 that I’ve been around and are about as new as me have received no work.

I wanted to hop on the offshore wind training / job but that’s only available to the 2 - 3rd year apprentices.

I can’t get on unemployment until I work a certain amount of hours with the local and training does not count.

And I just payed my dues but a part of me kind of is getting a bit concerned about it being “worth it” I figured I would have been called for a job by now.

Not to mention that I just got a different job just to be told that I have trying on 7/20/26 , i literally got my new job about a month and a half ago. And now I need to tell them that I need to take a week off? I’m going to be let go as I’m under probation, and finding a job is difficult as it is. I’ve made a lot of sacrifices with my past job to go all in on this, so I’m feeling a bit unsteady.

I feel like the answers I’m getting don’t match what I’m seeing and even then no one seems to be able to give me a straight answer.

So I’m genuinely looking for advice. I want to work, I have tools. I’m not good with the “buddy buddy, I know a guy thing” or being a social butterfly, but I am good with my hands and have generally strong aptitude with mechanics, electronics , pneumatics and hydraulics.

Thanks for any and all of your suggestions and advice if any.

I’m making a cartography map maker program! Any suggestions for what else I should add?

Don’t mind the placeholder images and pins!

I plan for it to have most of not all of the same functionality as world anvils map tool. This isn’t as full featured as arkenforge, but even then arkenforge lacks the nested map / map pin functionality that this has.

Ideally I would like to also give it virtual table top functionality. But for the time being it should work to make nested cartography maps!

I plan to use it for my group, to build and explore our world easier!

I got burned after accidentally deleting a old map from world anvil and after contacting support and reaching no resolution after I’ve been a user for 7 years or so, I decided to host all my stuff locally!

There is no audio for the video, but I go through most if not all the current things that have been built.

The pin image preview is broken though, I need to fix that later.

I thought that having a “arbitrary zoom” would be nice to have, for those of us who love having gigantic maps. cough me cough so i assume the program should handle it well depending on the pc , but I have not truly tested the current limitations of what it can truly handle.

So if you have any suggestions of what to add in the future like, tools or other features that you don’t really see, but would like to, definitely post a comment! It’s my first time making something like this so I would really appreciate feedback!
