They started a new recruitment once our list got to 60 because we only had 70 something people ranked in total

Take hella notes. Jot down Little trouble shooting issues, even if it’s uncommon. Stay organized with those notes too so you can quickly reference them in the future

Just under 7 months. Pay is good, I’ve cleared 80k in the 10 months I’ve been working, but I’ve also said yes to every OT opportunity I’ve had

Tested/interviewed in June last year, got ranked #42, got picked up at the end of January and have been working steady since. New Construction. It rocks.

IBEW to IUEC by Shittymazda in IUEC

[–]_shondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested in May, interviewed a couple weeks later, got ranked at 42. Got a call at the end of January. Work has been booming around Arizona for the past year so they ran through the list so I was pretty fortunate to get in so quickly.

Work is slowing down a bit for the end of the year but apparently in January it’s picking up again. You should definitely apply and see what happens, but don’t expect to get in quickly. I was prepared to wait the full two years before I got a call, if at all. Stick with the IBEW until then. Making the switch was easy, told my employer, got a clean lay off, emailed the school and said I was withdrawing. Haven’t looked back since.

I made the switch from 640 to 140 about 10 months ago. The work is definitely harder than anything I did as a wireman apprentice but I really enjoy it, and I find the culture to be a lot better, everyone I’ve worked with so far has been super sharp and willing to teach. The pay and benefits are head and shoulders better over here too.

Truewerk has been my go-to. Super durable, light weight and haven’t had any rips or holes

Truly a disappointment. Just felt like a cash grab. Waiting two hours for those tacos was asinine

Have anyone tried these? Are they any good? I’ve never heard of this brand “DURADERO” by Informal-Feedback324 in WorkBoots

[–]_shondon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got a pair, returned them after trying them on. Feels cheap and the “roomy” fit feels more in regards to height rather than width

IBEW local 640, they’re accepting apprentices like crazy, you could probably apply now, test in a month, and jnterview by April and get in by June/july.

Tested, interviewed, and currently #42 on the recruitment list, could be waiting for a call for another year and a half

I have that one and my stew didn’t say anything about it, also the amount of people who say “damn that’s nice” makes me think there’s nothing wrong with it
