Got called for the Local 3 interview after a year of waiting. What do they look for?

Asked by groundrod_05 · Sep 11

Apex grad, working non-union in the Bronx for two years while I waited. I got the letter this week: I have an interview. I have been preparing with my mentor here, but I want to hear from more people. What did your interview look like? What do they want to hear from someone who already has some field experience? I do not want to sound like I know everything, but I also do not want to undersell the two years I put in. Appreciate any advice. edit: interview is Monday, not next week. I misread the letter.

Will do. From what people told me, it is mostly about you and your work, but I am not sure. I will report back after.

Good luck. Please post how it goes, I'm a year or two behind you.

update: had it. Mine felt like mostly questions about my work and why electrical. I talked about a service change we did in Throggs Neck and the time I mislabeled a panel. Felt okay. Now I wait again. Appreciate everyone here, and my mentor especially.
