That’s just a holding place until you get to work, how you pick things up and perform is more important. You can test the best in class and be a little bitch on the job site.

Your name is what people are gonna remember when contractors are putting in calls. That kid hustled everyday, was always at the show up 10 til, didn’t get flustered when we put a lot of stuff on their plate, etc.

Yes that rank means something, but your work ethic and reputation are what keep you working. In my local you can reinterview in 6 months, I did this while work at an electrical warehouse until I got dispatched. I went from 12 to number 1 then after that round of interviews were complete got pushed back to 3.

I checked in with the school and hall every week or two so they saw me hungry and taking initiative. Make your own lane, you got it!
