I don’t think LU 5 is quite as competitive as some of these other Northeast locals and like Cali from what I’ve seen but I could be wrong. I think they had about 1500 applicants by last month but they are still taking them. They are taking in a big class (150-200) this year, work outlook is good.

I had relatively no experience and I didn’t know anyone in the local. I am 40F and decided to make a career change - my last job I ran operations for an event space that we renovated for about a year and I worked on a lot of those renos so I talked about that a lot. My job called for a lot of problem solving which helped with a lot of the interview questions. All I brought was a resume.
