IBEW Local 124 | What to expect during the application, aptitude test, and Interview process. 

Wow nice man! I got my test tomorrow for my local IBEW

Lmfao congrats bro, I’ve watched this vid like 3x. You did a great job explaining. U should do a update video.

Little late but Congratulations man im watching your info vids literally day before my test and i feel alot more comfortable and confident that i should be fine . Im trying for my local 153 where my Gpa has been since he was out of highschool. I wish i got into the trade out of highschool instead of bullshitting a year in college but in the end taking algebra in college is what got me in being i had a D+ in algebra my freshman year in HS because i didnt try very hard . Im 30 now and have alot of work experience with construction, electrical and plumbing working with concrete and foundation repairs with my uncles company to building custom medical buses and party buses at a custom shop and ive always enjoyed doing wiring and bringing power to things more than anything else . Thanks for the info

Im stoked for you!! this makes me feel a little more comfortable about my upcoming interview in a week! just be yourself be honest right>? I hate making up answers for some of those questions like " describe a time someone was hurt at work what did you do? " I haven't really had any experience with that so I don't know what to say and I don't really want to just make something up.

⛔️⛔️TY BROTHWR AND HOW DID U ANSWER THE QUESTION DO U REMEMBER?

@@stevenstevens6904 I can't remember how I answered that question, my bad, but I bet you could think of something you've done in life that fits that scenario, you got this

Do you need experience before taking the oral interview? I don't want to be denied since I've never worked on an electrical project.

@@TheSlave69 I got in with zero on job experience, I only took college courses

@@shakprootwhat kind of physical is required and did they do a background check?

@@TRue-r2n I had chest x-rays and it's a light physical, nothing crazy that I can remember, a doctor just checks you over and calls it good from what I remember, there is a background check I'm pretty sure too

@@shakproot whats the light physical exam? so wait they do a full body check up?😂wtf , did you have have to do blood work

You are welcome!

@@franciscoalvarado2240 a polo and pants would be perfect

@@shakproot thanks man was overthinking that a lot really nervous because I’m going in as a deer in headlights without a clue but hopefully it goes well thanks for the tips!

I haven't heard anything back still so I know I didn't make it yet, i called them to see how I ranked and they said they couldn't give me that information.

I interviewed in april 2023 and got accepted in may 2023 then started working in September 2023

But that was my 2nd time interviewing when I got accepted, I didn't hear anything back after my first interview in april 2022 so I took college classes and reinterviewed in april 2023

Thanks for the response! I interviewed in April and I still haven’t heard anything back. Did a follow up call last week and they said they are running behind schedule but they will email you whether you got accepted or not. So technically I guess I’m still in the running?

I did not get into the first wave of IBEW apprenticeships and I believe it is because I don't have experience in the field. My name is on the list for acceptable hires at IBEW for 2 years since my interview so hoplefully they reach out while im working another job. I'm applying at Barts Electric now for their apprenticeship course, just like IBEW's but through Bart's, so I can get some experience for IBEW or just go through Bart's for my Journeyman.

Good luck, i know you will get it

You take the aptitude test before you're interviewed

@@nannerspank I'm currently at work rn, it's going great, better than any other job I've had, along with more stress than I've ever had. Most days are good days though

I do not know yet, I should be getting a letter in the mail within a week based on what they told me. I'll keep you informed in this comment section!

any updates

@@benjiiiiyy it is a low score so what i have to do is take construction classes in college, or algebra classes, and i would have another interview to no high in My rank

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TkY6sSnr3SU.html little late but that video should help if you still need it

@@shakproot quick question if your working for the IBEW . What kind of drug test they do also ? But thanks for the vid!

@@JRE.Prod_ im not working there rn, but they do a drug test for weed and the others that are worse, standard drug test

I want to go to Cali n do mine since my friends live there

My overall gpa was a 2.8 in high school and I still met the requirements for the trade. I think you should be good.

@@Beyawn I was 20 years old when I got in

In the video I give my answer for the first question, towards the end I believe, and to get into IBEW I think they are looking for people with experience first, which makes sense, so if you can get any electrical or construction experience it would move you up the ranks I believe.

@@shakproot How can construction help with experience?

@@victorsaldivar4753 We are in the construction trades so any construction experience would help out when starting out as an apprentice

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TkY6sSnr3SU.html this video should help with that!

Nothing from IBEW, going to do college classes and then reinterview and try again

No problem! I will upload an update video of what my goals are for the future here soon

They wouldn't give me that information when I called them, the test was very easy for me so I believe they want people with experience or college education, but mainly experience.

I asked for my score, but they never gave it, I believe I scored in the high 90's on both tests, I'd say like at least a 90 on math and at least a 95 on reading

Nice

Yes

What a punk ass comment

thats actually perfect, he’s not dressing up for a wedding.
