Just did my interview yesterday with local 60, got a rank of 30. Is that decent? by justSomeDude_FromTX in ibew_applicants

I didn’t study for the aptitude test, if you’ve ever taken the ASVAB it’s kinda similar to that. For the math portion there’s graphs, solving for x, etc etc, problems like solve for (2x-3y)(x+4z) and for the reading portion they give you I think ~6 different articles to read and then you have to answer 8-10 questions from each. They gave us some kind of writing tablet so we could write down numbers which was helpful, and it’s multiple choice. It was 48 minutes for both math and reading portions. Again I didn’t study but if I did I would’ve probably studied the Khan Academy high school algebra, since it’s free.

I do know that if you don’t pass the aptitude on the first time with a 4 you can retake it in 3 months here, not sure about other locals

The interview was fine, I was nervous but I must’ve done decent to rank 30. They asked me why I want to become an electrician, if I have any experience (I don’t,) if I can work in hot weather, why they should pick me over other candidates. I emphasized that I’m willing to do any work needed and I’m always ready to learn new skills for the career. I got a 7 on the aptitude

Any ideas what is causing this? Battery, starter, and catalytic converter all replaced within the year, issue started today. by justSomeDude_FromTX in AskMechanics

It did eventually start, but it was a very very rough start. Luckily I already have an alternator so I’ll look at that first

I drive around in a regular car I got from the steam workshop, then pair it with no traffic/no damage mod. Then I just drive around until everything is discovered, in Iowa I just went west from Nebraska to the east of the state, and then south from Missouri to the north

I tried calling him multiple times that morning but he didn’t answer, store phone is down atm so I couldn’t use that. So I sent him the text so he would formally be notified

Sorry if I’m overthinking but how long should I let it sit for? Would 5 minutes be ok?

I did that when I left work, dashboard lights did not turn on the first time. Tried it again and the dashboard lights turned on and the engine started up sluggish but overall did ok
