At the electrician interview, they said they hope to make a decision before Christmas. If they haven't, they'll still contact us to let us know

Also said they were taking 6 for electrician and had invited 30 for interview so there's a 20% chance

Waestrel · 03-12-2015 06:05PM

Does anyone have any idea of likely pay scales as apprentices , and then as full time sparks?

had my interview this week, went well.

Anyone heard anything yet?

brianp20 · 16-12-2015 01:59PM

I've heard nothing yet but I was told it should be this week. I'm not sure how true that is because at the interview I was told they might not contact us until after Christmas.

Probably won't until after I'd say anyway was just wondering

liv1892 · 06-01-2016 10:50AM

Still nothing! They're drawing it out a bit.

brianp20 · 06-01-2016 11:37AM

It's pretty frustrating. Hopefully we'll get word by the end of the week.

Out of interest, how do you think your interview went?

I thought I did well to be honest but as time goes on I am doubting myself. I was wondering if we did get the job would we be subsidized for travel expenses and that if we had to go a long distance would you know? How do you think you did?

I'm in the same boat. After the interview I was satisfied with it but now I'm wondering was I just happy because the interview was over! Doubt is creeping in and that's why the wait is so frustrating.

I'm not sure about travel expenses, I haven't thought that far yet.

Ya the wait is killing all hope really.

It was just something that was said to me by a friend so I said I'd ask and see if anyone knew anything. Hopefully this doesn't drag on much longer.

I know someone that might know about the expenses so I'll try and find out later and let you.

Even if we get positive news from this interview there's still a second one to follow.

I don't think there is because they cut it down so much from the aptitude tests to only 30 so they wouldn't have to do second interviews.

I was told at the interview that it I was successful there would be a second interview. I remember my stomach sinking when they told me. Did they say different to you?

No. Which apprenticeship were you going for?

Electrician. You?

The same.

Waestrel · 06-01-2016 02:11PM

no word for me either - dont worry lads, it'llbe along. Big wheels move slowly.

As a matter of interest, what ages are you guys? im 32, so surely I am quite old for an apprenticeship.
