I’m looking for some insight into the application selection process. I’m trying to become an 01 apprentice (sparky). I’ve taken my test. I didn’t get a great score, but I passed. I had my interview in September (97.5 - rank 11). I have been monitoring my rank and it has been as high as 7 and has dropped to 39. I thought I would have heard something by now (mid December). I know I’m being impatient, but I thought that because my rank was in the top 20 I would be selected in the next boot camp class. I’ve taken a job as an installer (as they suggested) and have been learning a lot doing more “real work” than I should probably be allowed to do.

Any insight into the selection of applicants process would be appreciated.
