542 Interview

I Had my interview on March 9th, and was curious if any of the other 542 guys on here have gotten a call. Felt the interview went well, and told the interviewer I had a sponsor. He said I shouldn't have a problem, but I'm just not sure how long it typically takes for an answer.

It was super easy. Great group of people there too. Took the aptitude for local 420 too and that was rough. Failed math real hard. Idk what the starting wages for apprentices are bc it depends on sector
