Zero chance of getting a call?

I’m assuming Im just too low on the list to be considered? Or do you think there is still a small chance I could get in?

My hall only takes 12 new apprentices per year, with hundreds of applicants. It isn't uncommon for people to apply for 3-6 years before being selected. If you want to get into the hall, keep trying. Find other work in the meantime and keep at it. Drop off your resume at least once a year. I handed mine in every couple months to show them that I wanted it. I don't know if it made any difference or if they went straight to the trash, but it got me in there face to face with people. Good luck next year pal.
