@wire_you_mad: The IBEW Apprenticeship interview is the single most important part of the application process. Do not take this lightly. Here are some example questions that you need to memorize some good solid answers to and be ready. How did you first hear about the apprenticeship program? Tell us about a time you made a mistake and what you did about it. If you had a conflict with a coworker, how would you resolve it? What kind of electrical experience do you have? If your supervisor asks you to do something you’ve never done before, what would you do? Why should we choose you for the apprenticeship? "Why electrical, not another trade?" "Tell me about a time you worked in a team" "Describe a challenge and how you handled it" "What do you know about the IBEW?" Most applicants know almost nothing Research Henry Miller. "Why do you want to be an apprentice here?" #apprenticeship #electrician #bluecollar #fyp #lasvegas
Passed my aptitude test about two months ago for ibew local 595 still waiting on interview test date any suggestions like show up to union hall or just keep waiting?

Make sure to pivot when they try to direct you into negative feedback, example is if they ask you what was wrong with your last job Do Not start tearing down your old boss or company procedures, simply say ‘every company has flaws but that’s not the reason I’m leaving for this, I just needed a better opportunity to make more money and do things I think I will enjoy more, I have a family now blah blah blah’ just keep everything positive

I passed my test with flying colors then went into my 5 panel interview and did amazing but 1 interviewer messed up my whole overall score because I didn’t have prior electrical work experience in a career setting. That union hall only took 8 people per year I was 3rd in line until that interview then I was dropped and told I’d have to go through the process again because of that one interviewer.

Passed and interviewed, unfortunately received the “but you’re a woman?!” type of questions. As much as ibew says they encourage woman to apply.. they really don’t.

It amazes me on what you have to do to get a job these days, especially in the trades. Isn’t there a shortage of workers?
