When I did my test/interview it was done, I tested in Florida and wanted to work asap and found that Ohio at the time was looking for labor so I hopped on up north. I’m not sure if the union still allows it but I don’t see what the problem would be, if a local needs labor and there isn’t any apprentices on the bench they should be able to hire a probationary as long as whatever local it is doesn’t have a wait list.
Good luck to you and stick to it. If your motivated and know elevator work is what you want, don’t give up. Better yourself with night classes and make it so next time your number 1 on that list. Call around, make some noise!
