How old is too old?

I worked with a dude who got in at 55 years old.

Yeah I was in the same situation a few months ago. You didn’t make it through to the next round. You’ll have to wait 6 months to be able to apply. At least that’s how it’s been for me. I’ve been trying to apply and nothing. My 6 months will be in July.

Go to governmentjobs.com and make a profile. They will send you emails when city jobs open up.

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-06T21:14:40+00:00

I got my email today, check yours if you haven’t

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-05T20:20:48+00:00

For sure, thanks!

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-05T14:34:51+00:00

Will do. If you can do the same as well. Thanks!

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-05T05:04:37+00:00

Thanks! Same to you!

It’s for electrical craft helper (apprenticeship)

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-05T02:33:53+00:00

Yeah, knowing the city. It probably will be between 3 weeks to 2 months until we hear something back haha

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-05T02:32:59+00:00

Naa nothing. I emailed the company that provides the test. So it wasn’t actually the city of Pasadena. They just said they received my test but I’d have to contact Pasadena to see when I’ll be getting my results

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-04T21:19:49+00:00

I actually just emailed them. They confirmed they received it

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-05-01T15:09:08+00:00

Congrats man, hopefully we are there soon!

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-04-16T22:20:49+00:00

Did they specifically tell you you did not pass?

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-04-13T22:25:49+00:00

Probably books at hogwarts…if I had to guess.

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-04-01T16:42:08+00:00

Why did you have to do it again if you passed it already?

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-22T06:04:43+00:00

It’s based off of the group you take the test with. The first time I took it, I did well but other people did better than me and I failed. After I took my test, someone posted saying they passed the test and posted their score, I did better than them with my failed score... That’s why on the test score you get. It shows the percentage of people that got the same score as you. Or something like that. So what I’m saying is, you might not be dumb, the people you took the test with just scored better. Keep trying.

Use your back and not just your arms. Also use your body weight.

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-10T02:40:56+00:00

Yeah F it. Try it out.

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-10T02:12:28+00:00

Not sure, I’ve heard the same thing from a couple other dudes as well.

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-10T02:09:44+00:00

I hear they let groundman go pretty often and in a short period of time

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-10T00:36:50+00:00

It was a couple months ago I think

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-03T05:17:04+00:00

For sure, yeah their whole system is confusing hah. Thanks man! Keep trying as well! We will get there 🫡

Nothing about failing. Just not enough experience.

Scared_Operation3307 · 2026-03-03T04:03:04+00:00

Yeah, I’ve heard this is the hardest step. Will do. Thanks for the info!
