Idk, not sure how it is for elevator guys but the electricians are dried up out there. All of them are traveling out of the local looking for work... We've hired quite a few at Chevron

No you won't; you'll get called. Just be ready to go.

Other guys? Maybe. Maybe not. But by then they've had two years to improve in the next go round. This is not an easy trade to get into and stay in. Lots of guys fail/quit/give up, don't be one of them. It is worth it.

The list started this time last year. How many people did they go through? A LOT. if you add the # on the bench to your number you're sitting at what 34? You will be called. If I was 180 on the list and up initially I'd be concerned. You, however, are fine. It might be August, or October, but you will get called. So don't worry, just make the most of the opportunity when it comes.

You other guys work on your qualifications and don't f up the interview next time. I failed the interview process twice (Charlotte 135 & Reading PA 84). But I wanted in so I applied everywhere (Raleigh 80, Richmond 51, Baltimore 7, DC 10, Philly 5). You want the truth? Move. If you've been paying attention, Austin (135), Raliegh (80), Nashville (93) all recruit more than once a year. Local 8 is huge, you're going to have to travel anyway.
