So, I've applied, taken the written test (passed) and am moving on to the field evaluation for a lineman apprentice position with Lakeland Electric in central FL.
I think I pretty much know what they will be looking for at the evaluation, that I can climb, not crap myself at the top, lift a bit while I'm up there, not weep like a school girl on the way down, things of that nature.
Question I have is, am I going to get surprised by anything they may be wanting to evaluate? I plan on working out for the next couple weeks to try and make sure I'm in a little better shape, but is there anything else I should be trying to prepare for? Knots, knowledge of gear for the job, basic electrical?
Any advice would be great.
Great site, there's a ton of info here. You can be sure I'll be a regular here if I get the apprenticeship, I'm pretty sure it will help :)
