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.

Great informational video. This guy really seems to know his stuff! Learned many helpful tips and useful tricks to navigating this interview. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend in need of some tips for IBEW.

Appreciate the input!!

I also want to add this Question that was said to me during the Interview: Tell me about a time you didn't have what you needed to accomplish the task at hand and how did you overcome it?

You take the aptitude test before you're interviewed

I wouldn’t say that the math is difficult but it’s difficult enough to review. However, everyone is different and we all experience the process differently. I mean, there are people who dropped out of HS who are electricians.

Im in California , I’m taking my test this Friday , what questions or math problems where mostly on the test ?

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?

Is it worth applying if you mostly got Cs Ds and Fs in math in highschool?

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.

when they asked the first question, Why did you want to do this or why did you want to become an apprentice? what did you say? also do you think trade school is necessary to fill out for your resume?

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.
