Hey Thanks @SterFry for the information. Just patiently waiting !

When was this list established? I'm new to most of this but I did email local 19 in April about openings on the east side of the state. I never heard back until last week. The opening for spokane and montana had already been posted on NEIEP website and I applied the day it opened on Aug 14th. But in the reply email I finally received on Sept 6th the lady told me Seattle was full with apprentices until 2019. Does this just mean they aren't re-establishing their list until then or that they actually aren't predicting hiring new apprentices? again, I'm new to this and I'm trying to get on in the spokane area but when I read that, I found it intriguing.

@dmart144

I am on the Seattle list. I was on the list end of May.

Here is my timeline:
011617:Applied
030117:EIAT
050417:Interview
053017:Ranked on list

Also, has anyone called?

I think it went about the same as my spokane interview with a few extra certificates hopefully I did good how was yours

Man mine went real well, real down to earth guys i interviewed with Im hoping I get this gig, I wouldn't mind moving out here, currently on the plane back to the bay, hoping for a good rank!

Hey, guys. I’m interviewing next week in Seattle. Any last minute tips?

Justbe yourself and answer honestly man that's it.

Rique925 did you interview upstairs or downstairs

Up stairs

Thanks, man!

How did your interview go?

Interview is tomorrow morning!

was just messing around on the seattle website thought i would share this https://www.iuec19.org/index.cfm?zone=/unionactive/view_article.cfm&HomeID=729172

Nice so the last list got to 102!

I've been wondering about that number. It'll reset once we all get our ranking?

yes it should

Anyone have an idea of how many interviewed and when the rankings might be available? I thought waiting a month for my interview was bad, this is going to be nuts waiting for the results!

I would think by the end of this month,

In my interview they told me there was no eta

Hey everyone, I interviewed the last Wednesday of March with the union president and he said they are interviewing for three weeks and the results should be available about a week after that. The list does in fact reset when our list becomes available. Best of luck to you all! Hope to see some of you out there.

Also, anyone interviewing in Portland?

Yeah I'm am coming up from the bay my interview date is on the 30th of May next month are you
driving or flying?

I'll be driving over from Spokane for that one. My interview is on the 29th. When are you flying up? Did you apply for any other locals?

I'm flying up the day before, and yeah man i interviewed to 5 other locations so far on the west side of the country

Dang five? You should get an extra point for effort.

Right? All I can do is keep getting more certs and experience and just keep pushing..

Spoke with the hall today, Rankings should be out by end of today or on monday

Just got a ranking email. It says ...”ranking you <Rank> in our applicant pool.”

So what number is my rank?? Anyone else get that

Just got another number, got #9

Damn I got #89.. congrats on your number man!

Just got my email that shows the <rank> haven't gotten the second one. Congrats on your ranks guys!

Just got my ranking, 36!

well looks like my numbers so bad ill not be getting seattle. better work on my resume befor portland

Yeah mine is pretty bad.. thought the interview went well..

I do know they are hiring about 100 apprentices in the next year so I wouldn't get too down about it. 89 could still get called.

Hi,

Got the email yesterday.

" Your recent interview with the Local 19 Elevator Constructors Joint Apprenticeship Committee was scored, ranking you «Rank» in our applicant pool"

I am emailing back.

@ Dirty, did you get another email or did you call them to get your rank?

Thank you,

I got another email few hours later that said the same thing, just with the number, instead of “ <rank> “

my second email went to the spam folder for some reason and the third email just came in saying the same

I just got a 3rd email as well, with the rank number included. I’ve already been contacted today with a Wednesday or Monday start date apparently. Waiting to hear back if they want me to try to drug test today... they must be busy

Nice man! List is already moving! Does anyone know how many people the list consists of?

Hey man let us know on the forum of how many people at orientation are there with you so we have an idea where the list is at

Guess they’ve called out 12 already. Gotta go to the hall Friday, then start with Otis Monday

Nice man! Congrats, hopefully the list keeps moving now, at #77 now lol

Looks like ur #24 now brotha

They hired 6 more today, a couple people are coming in from out of town, list is at #19

Man that's awesome! It's moving fast! Fingers crossed for you man. If you get in we gotta link up and have a beer I know some good spots

Sounds good brotha! I talked to Jim Morris today that's who gave me the rundown, he said I won't be in til next year so now just got to get my construction experience better and to be ready!

Did you call the hall to get that information? Or Jim directly?

Called the hall then hit 5 for business manager I believe

Any update on rank called to work?

Na man I'm not calling for a couple weeks, no point for me I still have a ways to go

Yeah I don't want to call. Everyone and their dog is probably calling in. I'm just waiting for them to update the list online to the new one

List is on #21

#24

if they keep burning the list at this speed i have a small chance in hell

What rank are you?

Much higher than i had hoped 265

Anyone called recently to see the current rank called?

Read back on page 4, I posted it yesterday

I saw that. I'm checking up on here probably more than I should. I'm anxious to go already. Seems like they call the first few days of the week only.

Yeah does seem like that too. Post on here brotha when u get called so we all have an idea where the list is! I wanna say give it a month bro, jump said 2 people are coming from out of town so the list won't probably move until they start

When you say two from out of town do you mean two new apprentices? Cuz Crap I'm 5 hours away and I'll be there the next morning

Two new apprentices, ones from Texas, other one is from Chicago, he said two weeks til they start, so list is at a stall for now

Unless another company calls in and says they need apprentices.

Yeah true, I think it will be another month for u to get called though, he told me in September the list is going to slow down because there's not enough mechanics so that was kind of a bummer..

Has anyone gotten through when calling the union lately? I saw on the website they posted as of 4-23 they've hired 20 but Everytime I call it says that the person is on the phone or unavailable. Looking for a status update

I called last Friday, they are at # 25

Thanks for the updates fellas.

So I called and ended up pressing 1 for general inquiries. The lady said they will be posting updates in the iuec local 19 website on the home page as they come from now on. Currently it says 20 people and she said they've hired 23 so weekly they will be posting updates if there are any.

https://www.iuec19.org

Also she said if your number is a within a couple of getting called they will give you a warning call to let you know you're coming up soon.

Any updates?

They sure aren't updating the website.

Yup lol, I guess we have to wait to get an idea when skycap gets hired..

Yeah I dont expect the union to actually update the website. I'll let y'all know when I get the preliminary call though. I check the websites and reddit way to often

Just throwing this out here like how I did the Reddit thread last week, list is out of 310 to give everyone here and idea how big the list is, 50 people failed the interview, so we're all pretty lucky to at least make the list..

That's good info to know. Thank you. I made number 165 so it'll be a while still for myself

Do you guys think #62 will get called this year or 2020?

I would think 62 would get a call this year

By December for u man, I know for me it will be around February March of next year from what I was told

Seattle seems like a far shot for me then. Hopefully I’ll get a lower score for Portland

Yeah man u might scrape by, I know last list made it to 102, never know

I called the hall yesterday afternoon. They were only at 26

Told u man it's going to slow downl.. maybe next month

Forgot that skycap called on the 11th, called this morning and still on #26 as of today

Damn ..

Just called, no movement. Sad Panda

Damn that sucks ...

I gotta quit checking this forum and r/elevators 3 or 4 times a day..

Anyone know where the apprentice school is located? And if I live several hours away, is there online schooling?

Man I do the same thing Lol, and no u have to show up at the hall. I'm moving to Seattle from the bay area when I get my call

Right on, we moved up here 7 years ago from the Central Coast, CA. Don't tell anyone you're from Cali 😂

Haha why p

Got the message today everyone. Going to work for Thyssenkrupp as soon as my drug test comes back. #36 has been called

Nice man! Congrats brotha!!

Trfytoy you re up next man! When u get that call that's when I'll be planning my big move

Thanks man! I don't know how many more were called but they said they are hiring quicker than anticipated. I'm one of 5 for thyssen.

Holy smokes!! Number was at 26 last week!

Tried calling today for the hell of it just to see if it moved in the past three days lol..no answer

On #40, last you called?

So what's the update ? When u starting brotha?!

My bad, I start tomorrow! ThyssenKrupp, a week of office stuff before the field. I'll keep ya updated!

How was the first day?

Called today, on #41

Thanks man!

U in the field today?

U going to call on Friday?

Thinking about calling tomorrow, i press 5 for the business manager?

Side note, has this site been down the last few days?

I press 1. And nope I check everyday lol I'm ready to start already haha

I'll call tomorrow afternoon and report back.

Ok sounds good man👍

Spoke to a very nice lady that said they are on #40

Damn same number ..

Hey everyone, sorry I've been unresponsive. My phone Crap out on me and it's all I have for communication right now. I've been in the warehouse the last couple of weeks. Will be starting in the field next Monday. There's a lot of work out there. I don't think it's necessary to call everyday, that's just annoying to the hall but once a week if all you should need. You'll get a notice when your time is up. Met a lot of great people so far so just keep that phone close and if you miss a call, call back asap!

Called the dispatcher today same #..

Seems to be going in waves.

Yup, man i can't wait to start! I guess we'll see at the end of the month when they update the website hopefully 👍

I can't wait either, I keep going over quitting my current job in my mind and it makes me so happy, lol.

Dude same here! I was thinking the same thing earlier haha

Called a lil while ago still on #41. I have a feeling it's not going to move for awhile now..

How's the workload going? It's been like a month now that the list hasn't moved..

Still on #41

From what I've been hearing, not enough mechanics to keep up with the work load. Quite a few temporary mechanics. So y'all are waiting on someone to work with. Met guys in Seattle from Portland, Spokane, and Alaska. All mechanics coming here to work, so the work is there guys and gals

Funny thing is I said this months ago about being short on mechanics, glad I got accurate intel

Still at #41

Damn..

Anybody applying for the Spokane list? Looks like there opening it up again

Why is the list moving so slow?

Not enough mechanics..going to be like this til fall..

I applied for Spokane 2 years ago.. they said up to 20 openings and 3 months after the process they had three apprentices laid off. I quit checking on the list after getting hired through the UA, but last I checked it never even moved. I work on job sites around eastern Washington with elevator guys and some of them have told me it has taken them 4 to 5 years to finish the apprenticeship because things slow down often and they work for a while then get laid off for a while. Maybe somebody has more insight then me for Spokane? Just letting you know what my experience has been

Dmart144 isn’t the apprenticeship supposed to be five years anyway?

Apprenticeship will take 4-5 years, flat out no way around that. First 6 months you don't take class, so do the math.

Seattle is booming, we have more TMs working now than I have seen in 15 years, but we have peaked with qualified mechanic material. They still are taking transients last I heard, but there aren't a whole lot of people willing to move. Until this next group tests out, and the second years become TM eligible, the list will slow.

On a good note, the last bunch of probies we took at TKE seem to have been pretty good. I even kept my first day hire, and that's fairly unusual for me.

So me being in the #40's should I be looking at next year to get hired?
