#24 is a golden ticket. You should be getting a call within weeks

What makes you believe that, all the apprentices I've asked at job sites have said they waited st least one year. One guy said he didn't get the call for three years!

Every local is different. Which list are you 24? Is is San Francisco? San Jose? Oakland? Berkeley? Santa Rosa? Sacramento? Reno? Salinas? Carson City? Fresno? Local lists aren't a blanket list, they only cover a certain part of the local. 24 in Reno is not the same as 24 is San Francisco. Think of it this way each local has mini locals in them. Which one are you ranked in?

Eros,
If you look at the local map http://www.eiwpf.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Map.pdfit shows where there are offices within locals. These offices have their own lists. Yes, local 8 covers all of NoCal, but the ranking is most likely only for the San Francisco office.

If the call was a blanket call they would have asked you which office you would like to be listed in whichever one you selected they listed you in.

Str8,

look at the email again, after your ranking it should say where, "You are currently ranked number (X) in (Y) in our applicant pool."

X is your rank
Y is the local office.

If you got ranked in local 80 like I did it would say (taken straight from my email

"You recently interviewed in Elevator Constructors Local 80 and received a passing grade on that interview. You are currently ranked number 8 in Raleigh in our applicant pool."

I picked Raleigh over Durham, Winston Salem, and Greensboro.

in local 8 the list is for all of local 8 sf to bako to reno. they will usually ask where you live and if you are looking to be outside of SF. There is always a chance that you could get picked up in bako and have to drive back and forth every week and charge for travel. If you decline an offer for hire due to the travel, good luck being in the trade in local 8. Get your prob time in then transfer to where you want to be.

Didn't hear about that but I'm willing and ready. I know this is an opportunity of a life time so I will do whatever is asked of me.

I believe you could be right hog, but it doesn't mention anything specific in the email. From what I've asked in another thread it seems they can ask you work anywhere regardless of where you live. I'm sure they'll organise things as efficient as possible though. You go where the work is in the trades. From what I asked in the interview, most work is projected to be in Sf for now.

As someone who'd be coming from out of town, I'll have to try to get this clarified a bit to prepare logistically.

And str8outasj, if you read the Austin thread, you'll understand your ranking better. Once this lost goes into effect, the old list is gone, so no companies won't go back to it.
