Home Forums Introduction Welcome to Elevator Trader Local 19 Seattle

just called this morning, still at 76. <sad face>

Where are you at on the list nvno1?

I'm a good ways out in the 140's. I'm just hoping the list moves a little quicker so that they make it that far. In the back of my mind I fully expect the list to stop in the 120's and I'll have to start over this coming January. It's okay, I'm still really excited about the career opportunity and next time I'll know exactly what to expect whereas this time I was like a deer in the headlights. I actually did really good on the test, but I get so nervous for interviews (especially ones that could change my life!).

Just called this morning and the list is at #77. Jim said that the construction companies in town are getting some larger projects to a point where they will need more elevator guys soon. He think it should start moving in about a month and could move fairly quickly.

Appreciate the update man, hope you get the called this time around too brotha, I'm almost in the top ten now, so hopefully ill start next month!

Sup fellas, finished my interview last month and i just wanted to ask what certs and education everyone had to kind of see how they graded my interview.
I completed power line school and also have some handyman work experience with my dad. Do they see that as a plus? Local 18 by the way. Thank you!

I heard the governor is opening up construction again this Friday! Hopefully the list starts moving again!

Rique are you in the trade yet? I mean you've been here forever.

Haha not yet , u would've been already if it wasn't for this Corona virus bs

Man, your telling me. I'm number 78 so I just barely missed getting on last year. Got a text in November from Jim asking if I was still interested and that I was third in line. These last 6 months have been excruciating. I'm working a super miserable job right now and can't wait. Hopefully just a couple weeks at most as the stay at home enters phase 2

I feel you brotha, same story here, and I heard end of June till phase 2 starts, but even then idk if the elevator trade
Is going to pick up, phase 2 just says some more construction is going to open up

Humiston, let me know when you get that call brotha

Will do man. Just read that king county is moving to modified phase 1 Wich opens all construction back up. Hopefully this means it's a short wait from here.

Yeah I read that yesterday on Seattle times, construction should open up very soon

Do any of you who are waiting, know anyone in the local 19 whose currently working ? I lost an probationary who had 2 months til he swear in. We have a lot of Guys who are still furloughed due to Covid-19. Also congrats on getting this far. Welding,Electrical, rigging and Tying Knots plus using common sense will take you places in this trade.

Last time I heard a couple weeks ago there was 32 mechanics and25 apprentices and 20 something probies, I know a couple probation apprentices and there getting a lot of work

The out of work list just grew mainly Covid-19...and some were shitty workers.

Take this time to get your welding Certs..AWS,WABO....learn... Fractions in math. Weights and measures converting U.S. Standard to Metric....hoisting and rigging ! Good luck Brothers.

Anybody have any news? Last i heard #78 was called a few months ago

I heard they are suspending the new hire process in January 2021.

I believe it, local 18 vegas said the current list will be good til june next year.
