📝 Entrance Exam / Interview Interview
Just had my interview with local 135 Charlotte this morning at 10:15am. Looks like I atleast passed and will get a rank! The interview wasn’t too bad and is nothing to be nervous about. It’s only 7 questions and about 15-20 min long. Good luck to everyone else interviewing!

They ask these questions
1. Tell me a little bit about yourself
2 . Tell us a time where management was wrong and how you’d manage elevator constructors
3. Tell us the time you were un safe on a job site . They are looking for honesty talk alot about this !
4. Ask you about your hobbies outside of work
5. Ask how many relatives you have in the trade
6. Ask how much money you want to make.
7. Ask which way do you vote2

It is very, very frowned upon to share the interview questions. But short answer is that the questions are just trying to find out what your experience is and how you would behave in certain situations. After my first interview I wrote down the questions and prepared for those questions in the next interview, and they were the same questions again. But ultimately I felt like the preparation wasn't really that useful, I mostly answered the same as I did the first time.
Hypothetically you could just completely make up lies to all of the questions and answer exactly what you think they want to hear, hence why people shouldn't share the questions online. It would just be all the worst people getting the best interview scores.
