a construction background is a plus for sure.
I always wondered about felons. In house its not really an issue, but
what
do you do if a felon applies? alot of these guys just made a mistake, but
still, alot of people wouldnt want a felon in their home just for that
reason alone. If I owned a company like this Id probably hire a felon
under
most circumstances as long as it wasnt a sex crime and if it was at least
a
five year old felony.
I have a 20 year old theft charge that was a misdemeanor (I had
appropriated 10k high school lunch tickets and was reselling them as
quite a
discount, they did a sting operation), not a felony, but Ive always been
open about it, made sure they knew before they sent me into a bank

It’s too unique of a job to expect to hire a ‘Wireless Internet
Installer’ right out the gates, they don’t exist in the wild, you have
to
create them. We primarily look for people that are willing to learn,
out
going, personable, NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS (seems simple, but we’ve even
had
people say they aren’t, hire them, turns out, they are), and we usually
try
to look for some basic computer knowledge, that way we know they at
least
will know some of what we are talking about when we start the training
process. We have had pretty good luck with military folks, and some ok
luck
with satellite installers. Either way, you’re going to be spending a
good
amount of time in training the employee to meet your company’s
standards.

A related question... that may be more important.
What qualifications / skills do others look for in an installer?
I think I've been looking for too much..

When I first started as a WISP, I tried to use a satellite installer as
a contractor, and it didn’t work out because being a satellite dish
installer was all about cramming in 6-8 installs a day to make any
money.
The workmanship was lacking.
But I think in the last 10 years, standards have gotten a lot better in
the sat dish industry.

So far,
The satellite installer is the only option that I've found that could
work on a contract basis so far. He has his own company, storefront,
truck,
tools, etc. He does contract work for a variety of satellite TV and
Internet
services, as well as antenna installations. Those rates are fairly
high,
though.
Everyone else I'm considering would have to be an employee. I haven't
found anyone willing to do the work for a reasonable price, though.

You man want to research some of the gotchas involved in contract
work.
Doug Hass may be a good resource to make sure you're treating your
contractor as a contractor and not inadvertently as an employee.

What sort of rates are typically paid to someone doing installations
and troubleshooting?
[I realize this varies by region, but I'd like to at least get an
idea
of what I should be offering.]
Thanks - Chris
