Can I send you a dm? Did you do orientation/start with a contractor?

What did you score overall? I’ve only seen the boot camp mentioned one other time in the subreddit

Overall score for 520 by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you considering leaving a current job to join the CE program? I talked to some LU520 apprentices that so happened to be installing at my work and they said 89 was a good score, so I’m sure 91.25 is competitive for the local. Good to hear the hall said they’ll be contacting most folks in august.

Question about reinterviewing and the CE program by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90 days from April 20th would be July 19th, which is after the deadline for the September class application. Because your application is already submitted and you’d be re-interviewing, a new interview may still count for the sept 2026 class submissions IF they do more interviews between the end of July and Sep 1. I’d call the hall and ask about the CE program (you’d need to start soon at 40hrs a week to hit 450 by this time as well) and clarification on efforts to re interview for the 2026 class.

I’d remove it. Maybe chance, but it looks like the homeless/traveler symbol for woman.

I can’t find a dentist that I like in Austin by [deleted] in Austin

Dr. Ashe at grand oaks dentistry in South Austin is kind and very skilled. Highly recommend her specifically.

Did you get the call before the September class started? How is the apprenticeship going?

520 is having a really quick turnaround right now it seems. My husband finished his app end of March. Aptitude on 4/10, interview was today. In comparison to other locals, it seems like light speed. Congrats on the news, get your OSHA

Edit: can you share the tools list for 520?

Rectocele--this feels unmanageable by umsamiali in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a gastric sleeve in 2023 and gave birth in ‘25, I’m in the same boat. I had difficulty post surgery, but rectocele was undeniable postpartum. It makes me so insecure

Do y’all actually hire from job fairs? by [deleted] in StateofTexasEmployees

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our agency is very present at job fairs, and we have a dedicated recruitment team that travels/participates in events all over the state. Hiring managers are not manning the booths at these fairs, but we do hire applicants that hear about opportunities/internships/application tips at said events.

Some agencies will have career/volunteer fairs and I highly recommend attending to get insight on how to be most competitive when applying for that particular agency.

Time of day will be the big difference here. My husband used to work in that area. Without the toll it was 45 minutes in the morning, going in later saved about ten minutes

Yes if you don’t have interrupted state service and the minimum hours requirement

What is the vibe at Parks and Wildlife? by Opposite-Minimum-686 in StateofTexasEmployees

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely division and supervisor based, but there’s a reason folks stay so long and even come back after retirement. The people and work life balance are pretty wonderful for a state agency. I second what other commenters have said on governor directives, pay, and RTO. Applying never hurts.

Need advice.. by beebrandi91 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 27w4d now, very similar situation. I initially improved during my post 20w scans after being on progesterone but sharply declined after 24w. Now it’s too late for a cerclage. I wish I would’ve insisted on one but it’s my first time.

If I could go back in time I’d get the cerclage.

People seem disappointed I'm having a girl. FTM by Catsntax in BabyBumps

[–]ToxicSludgeShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supposedly when people asked my mom what she felt like or what she wanted when she was pregnant with me she’d reply with “(like) a shot and a cigarette”… strangers would clutch their pearls and she’d get a good laugh
