Home Forums Introduction Welcome to Elevator Trader Local 8 - SF

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

called yesterday nothing moved if anyone is curious . Still at 6 started at 108

Anyone called this week?

No movement

A bunch of people got layed off i think theres about 20 people on the bench right now

Well damn

Might have to re apply next year

if your number 19 youll probably be called end of summer

I hope so it’s been really slow this year

yeah it has, the reno list hasnt even hired one person so far since it started in the mid feb

Yeah wasn’t expecting this but keeping my hopes up

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.

Thanks for the advice hog

I’d suggest to apply for SF if your not called in by next year

When are they supposed to start the application process again? Jan. 2019?

That’s my guess every two years

@eros , why don’t you think you’ll get in aren’t you number 26?

yeah thats the plan 👍

Been slow since the holidays and there’s 15 ppl on the bench currently ..I’m currently number 19 started out at 123

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.
