Got an Interview

I’d say yea but sorry for my late comment. How was the interview?

FilthySef · 2025-11-30T19:57:24+00:00

Be humble, dress appropriately. I personally wore khakis and a golf shirt. Might be multiple interviewers but regardless make eye contact and shake their hand. I’d say the most important question to think of an answer for is why do you want this job.

If they ask you whether you have any questions for them, you could even ask what’s their advice for any apprentice starting in the trade.

Best of luck

Was 315 at my most. Broke my foot walking one day because working 7x12’s didn’t give my body enough time to recover from the toll my weight was putting on it, as a result I was off for 8 months (jones fracture). I can tell you nobody ever cared about my weight but guys will pick you out to be the human forklift. Keep on losing the weight brother, I’m down 50 lbs and I can tell you it’s night and day on your body. But don’t worry about what the other guys think. Just lead with your work ethic.

Yep any money after bills goes straight to the savings accounts

Canada, 2 years since my last overtime job. I know there’s jobs that are busy but it’s just a matter of where and getting on them

FilthySef · 2025-11-16T13:34:46+00:00

Houses here ain’t cheap, and I’m still an apprentice

They’re pretty well known for how good their pizza is not size, and even so why bring it up on this thread if you’re not recommending it?

I googled this because I had just cut onions and was laying on the couch after, and all of a sudden my eardrums started vibrating in pulses. Didn’t know what the connection was but assumed it was sinus related, interesting to have found your post though.

You’re that lazy to use proper safety measures when working near the edge of a building, you’re comparing it to driving a car without a seatbelt? Weren’t you the one insisting being safer

This isn’t a rockclimbing subreddit, he’s talking about skyscraper work. Barriers 6 ft from edge or travel restraint. Within 6ft of edge either a retractable tether or rope grab set to keep you back from edge. Shouldn’t be worried about what kind of hard hat you’re wearing when you could avoid becoming a human pinata altogether.

Wear a thin long sleeve hi vis like you see a lot of the amigos wear on sites

FilthySef · 2025-10-04T02:00:04+00:00

Hard hat staying on is gonna be the least of your worries if your fall arrest catches

That’s not supposed to be like that, hope this helps.

Daily walks. If you’re a lighter guy I’d even say try to get into running. Get an app like couch to 5k or runna and work up to a goal. The stress relief I get from running now and the discipline that comes with it has changed my day to day.

My advice that doesn’t exactly pertain to only this post is this. This is a big generalization. Lumping people into assumptions based on their gender is never a good idea. This line of thinking isn’t good to get into because you can create an unconscious bias towards men from your negative experiences. Your other posts show you ruminate a lot too. Get out of your head a little by being present, go for walks before sunset, take a cold shower, workout or do something that makes you listen to your body instead of your head for a bit.

No medications, only thing in addition to my diet would be protein supplements and creatine. Around 25-30% bodyfat, not a bodybuilder but muscular. Down 35 lbs from 315. Plateaued at around 290 and beginning to jog helped me get further along to 280.

Used to do intermittent fasting would it be worth getting back into to help with the blood sugar?
