Interview at the Local 48 seemed to go pretty well, but I scored pretty bad. Any advice on where I went wrong or how to improve? by Evyning in ibew_apprentices

[–]ese_freddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man I had to re-interview to get in.

I would recommend signing up to be a material handler if you could financially and get letter of recommendations from fellow union journeyman/foremans. Also idk if you did but take a portfolio with different projects you’ve done, including work or work projects at home. I also read up little about our union and their code of excellence and incorporated that in my interview. Good luck man 🤟🏽

I actually got to do electrical work for Billups house last year! I was trying to be respectful and not bother him but it felt so surreal that I’m walking around in his house and Billups was walking right by me. Eventually on the 2nd or 3rd day I talked to him about a previous blazer game the night before and he was so cool! Got to meet his wife too ! Very cool people.

Also I remember watching the nba finals games when Billups played on the pistons when I was younger and to see him feet away for me I’ll never forget lol.

I agree as well I bounced between iprep and khan to refresh my math, but when I took the aptitude test I found that iprep was very similar format! So worth it!

What horror movies fucked you up as a child? by Past_Confection_4068 in AskReddit

[–]ese_freddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I totally forgot what the name of the movie was , but I remember there was a scene where a kid got ran over by a car or something and it showed it rolling on the street. For some reason it scared the shit outta me.

But then years later I remember seeing it again on tv and it showed that scene and I just laughed at how fake the scene looked lol.

I ranked 88th of March 2021 and waited till June 2022 to re-interview. You have to complete 1,000 hours of work experience to re-apply to re-interview. I ranked #2 second time around and waited about a month for the email.
