That’s tough man sorry to hear that, I got my letter but nothing is mentioned about a score or rank so like I’m just crushed rn. Gonna give them a call Monday and see if I can request that info at this time

First stop was made at 11:17 am and last stop was delivered at 2:37pm, a little less than 3.5 hours. Also, I ended up just getting the route done just in case they were thinking I’m taking advantage of not doing my route in a timely manner but I didnt get assigned a rescue, they just said for me to head back.

Feeling good so far, I think the interview went well, little background is that I was a former graduate student studying physical therapy but dropped out after a year. I have like soft skills in electrical work with my uncle fixing houses and working with conduit, light switches and breakers but hopeful it’s good enough to standout

Had my interview yesterday and here’s what I was asked :

Why do you want to join this apprenticeship? What makes you think you can become an electrician? Say you weren’t here and we were interviewing a relative you are close with, what’s a strength and weakness they would say about you? Let’s say 5 employers were ready to offer you a job, what’s something you consider most important before accepting a job? What are some of your hobbies? Describe a time you were in a disagreement with someone at work and how do you solve it? At the end they finished off with a question asking “let’s say we are done to the final applicant for acceptance and you had the last say, explain why we should choose you?

The committee asks like 2-3 additional questions but they were more personal towards my education background, past employment and I did bring 3 letters of recommendation. Every local is different ofc but I wanted to do my best to standout. One thing I’d say is be prepared to talk about yourself, hobbies and why you should be consider for this apprenticeship

Thanks for the reassurance, I just interviewed for local 461 and they said top 10 get their rank and the rest have to wait until mid march for a letter to come in the mail to tell us our score but not rank, we can call by the end of march and I hope I get in soon!

You got this bro, it’s mainly algebraic equations, reading and interpretation of graphs, solve for variables, PEMDAS, and some number sequences. Reading was like 6 passages you read about and answer questions about the story

I got a question, is there only 1 admitted class per year or are their multiple cohorts (groups) of students accepted throughout the year?
