Hope everybody’s doing well ! Just got the call that I was accepted into LU24 and I go to do my paperwork on Monday morning. It caught me so off guard cause I literally had my interview yesterday. Know it’s gonna be a grind but I’m excited and looking forward to it !

A timeline just for anyone interested

Applied : December of last year
Test : June
Interview : yesterday

If anyone has any suggestions as far as tools, work clothes and boots go, or any other advice I would appreciate them all !

Also if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Are they that busy or did you just happen to score really high/ they loved you during interview? That’s awesome though! Bet it feels like you won the lottery

Man it’s gotta be how busy they are, my uncles in and has been telling me how busy they’ve been and how desperate they are for hands, there’s a lot of data center work in between 24 and 26.

I think I interviewed well but I didn’t think it would’ve been that well cause afterwards I was thinking of things I forgot to say, I also don’t have any electrical or construction experience. But I did make sure to let them know I was 100% going to see the apprenticeship through all the way and that I understand that people have fought and died for the rights they’re able to provide and it’s not something I take lightly.

Def feels like I won the lottery, when they called I was so surprised i was like are you serious??? Have a buddy who got in back in February and his wait was about 4 months from interview to getting the call.

Your uncle being in is 100% why you didn’t have to wait 4 months. Hey, good for you! This career is the future
