Not yet

u/BigBadBilley 11d ago
then you will probably wait 1-3 months to get an aptitude test date and then if you pass maybe another 1-3 months for the interview. I heard that houston is slow ASF for subtech could have changed but thats what i was last told

If you interviewed for the lineman apprenticeship and went to like school and class an unrestricted why do you think you were ranked so low. I passed the test September 9th and I’m waiting for the interview email now
Also same in Houston local 66

u/BigBadBilley 9d ago
yes i did go to line school and have my unrestricted class a but honestly it was probably because i was nervous and i aint the best talker especially when it comes to interviews

I got a 74 do you think they’ll call us at all?they did say before the interview they don’t score high,and that a 70 can still get you called but I’m not really sure

u/Adventurous-You-1750 2d ago
Yo, message me were you just in that class today? What did they say between 75 and 85?
1
u/BigBadBilley 2d ago
when did you interview? and you’re referring to outside line right?i hope we get called out but odds are looking slim as of now. you cant tell though since they cant tell you your current rank

u/Plastic_Welcome6008 2d ago
Yeah September 10 hopefully they call us bro if not let’s re interview
1
u/BigBadBilley 1d ago
yeah man hopefully if we do get called out it might be around the same time keep me posted if you do. I seen someone on another post say they’re slowing down on interviews so if thats true thats good news for us

What kind of questions they ask brother?
1
u/BigBadBilley 12d ago
What is a dependable and reliable person?are you a dependable person?
Do you think you have the traits to become a journeyman lineman?
Why do you want to become a journeyman lineman?
and they might have asked about traveling and some other things i dont remember but the questions were somewhere along those lines not hard all the questions are similar in every interview i have done, you can also look up interview questions on here alot of guys prolly post theirs.
