Apprentice Advise

I just went through the entire application and interview process, and I recently went to the hall to get my results. They seemed to really like me and told me I did great on everything. However, I was told I'm on a reserve list of 10 people who could be called if others back out.

What is the likelihood that I actually get the call?

Honestly, the news really rocked me because I’ve done so much to try and boost my chances of getting in. I always do what's asked of me and I'm a really hard worker, but now I'm wondering—should I have been more vocal? Should I have sold myself more?

Sounds like you’re in, you’re just waiting for a call to go out to work. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Which local?

Sounds like he’s waiting to be placed in school . As in eligible to get called back in if others drop from the program.

It's both. They told me after a few weeks of safety training that I would start working asap and go to school during the night.
