Let's go bro!!! So exciting!! I remember how excited I was when I first got my acceptance letter too. That thing was on the fridge for months. Looking forward to watching more videos and following you along your journey ⚡️
Hey there! I just stumbled upon this! I'll be interviewing with the PSE JATC for the Inside Wireman apprenticeship on Thursday. Maybe our paths will cross soon! Happy sparking and youtubing!
I know Mad electrician has made a video on the topic. But I was curious to how old you are, getting into the trade? I’m visiting my union today for more info.
Yo man question for ya I just finished my interview with the union and I’m wondering what’s the next step afterwards? I know you get your score via mail but does that score include if they’ll hire you or will those results come up in a different letter?
So the letter says you must bring drivers license but if you don’t have one you have 30 days to get one. I’m curious what would happen in this scenario, I want to apply my my license is suspended for a few more months.
@@SparkysJourney ya I believe you’re correct. I do have a restricted drivers license. I’m not sure if that qualifies as a “valid drivers license” but I think if I were to apply now and wait the months it takes for testing, interview process and eventual hiring, I may have my full license by then. November 17th. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
@@zlab1904 starting pay for my local is around $25p/h. Pay increase every 6 months. Making over $30 p/h after first year and will be close to $70 p/h once I journey out. Great paying career!
I need advice, I’m currently working in mental health and I have no experience in electrical work. I‘m planning to become an electrician because after going to college, getting my Bachelors, and working in an office- I can’t stand it. It took this pandemic to make me realize it’s not for me. I’ve taken a great interest in becoming an electrician by joining the IBEW. I heard I don’t need any experience to join the IBEW but I want to get some experience in before applying, or should I just apply anyway? I heard they’re military friendly and I’m hoping my veteran status would help. Any advice will be great! Thank you
I had no experience. No experience is necessary. That being said. Experience will probably get you in faster. First things first… apply!! Apply right now. It will take time to get into the program so the earlier you apply, the better. You’re experience won’t actually matter until the last step which is the interview. The interview can take 2-8 months to schedule form the time you apply. I would try to get experience as a material handler or stockman before your interview if you can! Good luck!

I remember telling my wife that it was underwhelming getting the email. I wanted the paper copy! It’s pretty surreal.
It’s like seeing the power rangers mix with previous generation power rangers 😯
Job well done, sir! Good on you for hanging in there. Best of luck!
It’s getting exciting!
Congrats big dog! I’ve got half a semester of school left before I turn out! It’s absolutely flys by! Good luck!
Nice! Congrats bro! I’m in the process of getting into a sheet metal union out here in Cali. Waiting for that same letter!
Congrats to you too! I have a couple buddies in the sheet metal union up here. They make great money! Good luck!
I came here from Mad Electrician!!!
Thanks for the love! 🙏🏼
That's what's up! ⚡️

Congratulations!
This is great
Congrats bro!
Congrats big dog 🤙🏽

I was 29 when I applied (A few months before my 30th birthday). Going into the trade I’ll be 31
I forget other places than where i live the union is still a bitch to get into

Congrats bro. Im applying myself in california. Did you have any construction prior to applying?
Congratz, dude!
I actually got my acceptance letter for Local 557 around the same time you got yours. How you liking it so far?
How long did the entire process take you? from applying to getting accepted. I applied & just waiting on test date
Hey bro do you remember your ranking before you got accepted and out of how many people it was
The lowest I saw it before I got accepted was 16. They pulled around 60 for my bootcamp. I think total there is around 300-400 on the list.
Did you also get notified by email? Or was it only a letter?
Email and letter!
So the letter says you must bring drivers license but if you don’t have one you have 30 days to get one.
I’m curious what would happen in this scenario, I want to apply my my license is suspended for a few more months.
If I’m not mistaken a drivers license is mandatory. I can double check and get back to you.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Are you currently working ?
Yes I’m currently working (not as an electrician).
@@SparkysJourney do you know the starting pay for the apprentice? I know different locations different pay but do you have an idea around how much ?
@@zlab1904 starting pay for my local is around $25p/h. Pay increase every 6 months. Making over $30 p/h after first year and will be close to $70 p/h once I journey out. Great paying career!
@@SparkysJourney wow that's good to hear! Good luck man !
What local you get into like what city and state
My name just disappeared off the POE list online, how long after yours disappeared did you get your invitation?
You should get your letter via email in the next couple days and you will most likely start bootcamp in the next couple weeks! Good luck!
@@SparkysJourney thank you !
