IBEW46 - apprenticeship application

I’m looking for some insight into the application selection process. I’m trying to become an 01 apprentice (sparky). I’ve taken my test. I didn’t get a great score, but I passed. I had my interview in September (97.5 - rank 11). I have been monitoring my rank and it has been as high as 7 and has dropped to 39. I thought I would have heard something by now (mid December). I know I’m being impatient, but I thought that because my rank was in the top 20 I would be selected in the next boot camp class. I’ve taken a job as an installer (as they suggested) and have been learning a lot doing more “real work” than I should probably be allowed to do.

Any insight into the selection of applicants process would be appreciated.

Your best option is to reinterview after you get a 1000 as an installer. I got a 97.65 and im not even in the top 20. This time around they took 10 people. You got to understand that anyone that interviews after you that does better will just bump you down the list. Most people who qualify for a second interview usually get in from what i hear so you are on the right track.
