Top 7 Plumbing Job Interview Tips | Plumbing Career | The Expert Plumber 

@Reddd C0xxx that’s funny. Glad it worked. Are you still there?

No. I was hired through a staffing company for a temporary project. I made some great contacts though.

Redd Cox,sat right next to a kid,we we're both applying at the same shop.He was wearing a suit, I was wearing Levi's, clean no logo t shit, Boots.They hired us both!

Just got right myself and I couldn't give 50% of my ability that way.

hows it going?

That is fantastic! Good luck to him

Glad you enjoyed it!

Elvis thank you so much. We do love doing these.

Hever Morales it sounds like you learned from them. Even if it was what kind of plumber you don't want to be. I have learned from some like that too!

U get it?

mk7Ryan unfortunately I didnt, I still got a letter of recommendation from my uncle and it didn’t work out. There was a ranking system. 1-90. They only choose 20 out of 90. And I got a ranking of 87. Basically the ranking was ranked on how the interviewed went. But I work at Home Depot in the plumbing department. And I’m trying to get little experience as far as the pvc, galvanized, black pipe, etc. I’ve been there for 4 months and I really like it. And my department manager is a retired plumber that used to go to school and work for that union school! He’s giving me a letter of recommendation and hopefully that turns out well when January comes up.

@@abreuben02 any luck my man?

Right now even without letter they're hiring everywhere

What questions did you get

@Manuel Gonzalez that’s fantastic! It is a wonderful feeling to get your masters license. Good luck sir!!! Are you scheduled yet?

@@RogerWakefield update got put in for a ride along, thanks man!

@@rroddrick let us know how it goes…

Perry Lloyd I would start by checking with local companies that do the type of work you are wanting to do, and see if they are hiring. What type plumbing was your training in. How does the licensing work over there?

I got in bois

@@SK-ScorpioKing01 aye congratulations man! Looking to join an apprenticeship soon!

It totally depends on where you are. Some area's in higher demand pay a lot more, some places don't pay very well until the plumber has experience. It's not a bad idea to ask during your pre-interview process

Check out the video I did about the UPC study guide. It's a great book to study if you do it like I talk about. It's great for plumbers and apprentices alike. How long have you been plumbing?

@@RogerWakefield how can I find the video

Jacob where are you located and have you talked to the union yet?

@@RogerWakefieldthanks for the reply! I currently live in Wisconsin...And no not yet I havent I've been researching a bit more on the union first. Also I've heard some unions can be quite strict on who they let in. I want to make a great impression to make sure I can get it I Really want to get into this trade.

Matt Heggeness I have some other videos here where I talk about learning plumbing. Are you talking about plumbing or the marketing end of it?

Good luck!

@@RogerWakefield appreciate it a lot, was really helpful

keegan how was the interview? I really research a lot of information on RU-vid. The two books I use most are the UPC and IPC. They are code books but that’s where it all starts.

keegan axtell How did your interview go? I have an interview today for my local plumbers union

Raeneice Eleby how was it?

keegan axtell it went awesome!

The plumbers are so busy around here that i never actually got that interview. I started calling every plumbing company here in my area asking if they would be willing to take on a apprentice. I finally broke through and talked to a gentleman who works by himself owns his own company and is 58 years old and is looking to retire here in the next ten years. I have been working for him now for about a week. He does mostly service calls and some remodel new construction. When i asked him what he does the most of he responded "whatever the people need" I really enjoy the service part so far. It feel really satisfying. After getting denied by about 15 plumbers in the area i started to feel hopeless on finding a mentor. Just have to keep on trying and eventually you will break through. Very fortunate to have an opportunity to learn this trade! how did your interview go with the union? @@raeneiceeleby6213

Dredd I would wear whatever you feel like presents a positive enough image of yourself. I wore a suit once on the site for an interview and they laughed at me! But they were slack-jawed yokels...

@Instinct_kill212 Plumbing is a great profession. Don't give up on it! amzn.to/2RgYEn5 this is a great study tool!

Good luck!

@@RogerWakefield thanks i got the job

I'm starting off as a labor worker here in ky but the first thing I'll be learning is cleaning drain pipes and sinks and toilets i was curious what sort of tools ill be needing for that job i have to buy them on my own he told me not to worry too much about power tools yet to get hand tools is there a list on your channel of tools you will need?

Congratulations! I've made multiple videos on tools you will need in your toolbag. Hopefully they help you out.

Shamim Sikder you will need to figure out where you want to end up and contact that state about licensing requirements there. It is different in almost every state.
