Re: Just finished my training
Actually, you are about to discover that your "training" is about to start - what they taught you in class is around 5% of the facts and around 0% of the experience and judgment needed to perform a competent inspection.
Of course, almost everyone here started from pretty much the same place.
This board (and a few others) are an invaluable resource - as you read through the posts here you are observing the knowledge and judgment resulting from hundreds of thousands of inspections and thousands of cumulatively years of inspector experience - you could do a lot worse than to do what I did at the start - read your through the board, take copious notes (on the computer, so you can footnote and cross reference) and research on the internet as you encounter material new to you.
If that seems like a lot of work... well... that's the EASY part! The hard part - especially in this market - is getting the inspections to let you put those skills to work.
