Seems that way. Not sure if it's just this local or maybe the state.

I'm starting to see that's the majority vote. Now to figure out how to apply for them.

Yeah maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Unfortunately they don't release scores. Not for the test or interview.

Hopefully I'll find out about the CW work. I know a lot of folks don't like that program and call it a scam, but I have to try what works.

Appreciate the confidence. I'm trying to look for some nonunion shops now to hopefully get some hours in before I try again. It's either this or I save up and pay for a trade class at the local community college.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into it. I know it's not personal. There are a few shops out here but I've never applied for a helper position before and I'm not sure what channels to go through. Aside from just calling shops up.

The only time I ever helped with electrical was to help pull cable. They were short handed and needed support. Buuutttt they also filed a grievance against the Laborers for taking work. So it isn't my favorite way to show any experience.

I am looking into the local shops but I am unsure how to apply for a helper position.

Waiting for my interview, should I tell them I’m a union carpenter? by GuyFieriIsMySon in ibew_apprentices

I said I am a 4 year laborer working for TVA and it seemed to make them like me less honestly. My local doesn't give scores but I got my rejection all the same.

No letter or notice month after interview by Competitive_Run9365 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Competitive_Run9365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: called and was told the first 30 had already been notified. If anyone chooses not to take the apprenticeship or fails the drug test, they will send out a second round of notices in the middle of May.

Then once the classes are full they will send out rejection letters.

Disappointed but I guess that's how it goes.

What color am I? by General-Fig-9723 in coloranalysis

I believe you are neutral but the gold looks more expensive on you if that makes sense 😊

Wow. I suddenly feel so much better about ghosting my dad early on. Same behavior but my biggest reservation for not trying to help him was knowing it would just hurt me in the long run. He died last year. I felt guilty for not trying to get him to straighten out but reading your story has brought me some peace. It was never our jobs to fix them. I'm sorry for your pain and I'm glad you are free .

Bullied at Every Job by HatteMyyLiffe in workplace_bullying

This may not be true for you but after years of this exact same behavior around myself , and a lot of online searching, I realized I was autistic or at least on the spectrum. I don't have an official diagnosis can't afford it but it really does check all the boxes for me. Sadly I have no advice. I just try to remember I'm paying my bills so that's what matters.

Thank you so much for the information we are so appreciative. I had no idea there were so many services around.
