so I have been trying to get an apprenticeship, I have been to two locals, Columbus; and Nashville. Both times I passed the aptitude test and was scheduled an interview. I did poorly at my first interview (Columbus), I just was not prepared for the types of questions that were asked. So I learned from that and practiced interviewing a lot before going to Nashville to interview. When I got through with my interview in Nashville I felt like I rocked it. I made the comment "I hope I did well, I hope to hear from you soon" my interviewer responded saying I did well and I scored a 20 on my tool test, he even made the comment that they needed a lot of apprentices and I would probably hear back soon, and he told me once I got started to make sure I kept up with all of my coursework. I did hear back soon less than 24 hours later I recieved an email saying I had failed the interview, in case it wasn't clear I recieved the same email from Columbus. I was shocked. A little background on me, I did excellent in highschool after that I began working as a electronics technician with my father, I enjoyed it and did well. Because of personal problems with my father I had to quit. I began working in restuarants, and attending college. After a few years my grant money ran out and I had to consider my options and when I found out about the elevator trade and knew it was for me. i am incredibly driven and hardworking, I have the means, and I'm going to keep going to different locals until I get an apprenticeship. I am just looking for some advice to accelerate the process. I think the problem may be that I lack work experience in related fields, but it is obvious that I know about tools. I troubleshoot and fix a lot of stuff from numourous vehicles to my well pump and pressure tank. Anything else you want to know just ask. Thanks.
