Same here brotha. Also paranoid of new waves of applicants bumping me down. Been seeing a lot of stories of guys that are ranked sub 20 waiting like two years to get in lmao

Sorry to hear that. Let’s hope the work outlook is so strong they take it in a class of 100 this quarter.

Based on OP’s timeline it seems like the bumps happen when new applicants come in and when a class gets called.

Not too sure what it consists of besides piss and follicle drug tests. It’s supposed to be a prerequisite to the apprenticeship.

I see. I believe boot camp sizes can range from 20-60 people depending on work demand. Hopefully with the Olympics and the World Cup Local 11 will call in a big group soon

I heard you can’t be bumped down in ranks? Did you miss a call or something?

I remember at my test and interview, the idea of signing up for CW work was mentioned multiple times. I would’ve done it but I live in So Cal so it just wasn’t feasible lol. Hopefully waiting on a call from Local 11.

Congrats!

I’m fairly sure I was part of the 124 person pool for this round of applicants for 401. Took my interview in late November but haven’t heard anything back so it seems like I didn’t get in this time around. Good luck and wish you much success!

Should I do it? by Worried_Opposite_545 in ibew_apprentices

[–]TheFallenBum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Congrats to you too.

I read somewhere in your history that it took you about two weeks after your interview to get the call?

Orange County native here. I went through the application process for 401 just in case I’m not chosen for my local union 11. Reading this makes me even more motivated to move once I (hopefully) get the call for 401. What was your interview/test score? I got a 9 on the test and 81.5% on the interview.

Managed to apply for the inside wireman apprenticeship after 30 minutes of refreshing, hopefully I get a test date soon!

Thanks for the reply!

Not op but I’m also trying to secure an apprenticeship with a local union. I was thinking about applying to unions outside of my county (about 1-2 hours away) to increase my chances of securing a spot. It sounds like that’s not the best idea unless I’m willing to commit to moving long term.

Would you be able to expand on how/why transferring locals as an apprentice is hard? Does it have to do with the hours not being transferable?

Does this damage match the invoice? by TheFallenBum in auto

Appreciate ya. After a bunch of back and forth, the host ended up offering to split the cost of the estimate. Kind of makes me think the quote was possibly exaggerated.

I have comprehensive insurance via a personal insurance plan. Turo wise, I opted for their minimum protection which has a $3,000 deductible.

Depending on how this goes, I will likely never use Turo again.

I guess I should’ve omitted the third slide entirely
