    Default Finally get an interview!

    Featured Sponsor

    Well, I've applied for more apprenticeships/ groundman spots than I know what to do with, and I finally get my first interview for an apprenticeship... via local 769. Teacher wasn't thrilled I might be having to quit class early, but I think it would be the best route unless something considerably better comes up. Hopefully it all works out in the end.

    Thanks, they have been by far the most helpful out of all the union halls I've been harassing... Time will tell.

    I know you've been applying for quite some time. Let me tell you; don't go in there like it's life or deaf. Relax and take the time to answer the whole question. Some questions may be two part and you'll only end up answering half the question.

    Default good luck

    rcdallas always has solid advice.

    research and practice S.T.A.R. interviewing technique if you havnt already. not only have some jatc's ive interviewed with been using this method but public utilities also use it nowadays. a good interview puts you in a good spot on the list.

    i did horrible my first couple interviews with different jatcs and it showed when they ranked me. I used them as learning experiences and took some good out of them and brought it to the next table.

    I've heard that when the cal/nev jatc starts accepting applications there are guys that camp out at the building to hand their application in first. Have you heard of this? Is there any truth to it?

    2 of my friends did it. Just like when a new hot shoe comes out. Bring your shank and OC spray.
