Apprenticeship Interview

Video illustrates 'how to' and 'how not to' behave at an interview for an apprenticeship. Produced by Careers Jersey and Freedom Media. Kindly sponsored by Le Masurier, Jersey.

Life is just different. back in the 1990's you didn't have to interview to get into an apprentiship. you just showed up and you were in.

[@СшаСша-ф5о]

In my apprenticeship interview, they asked what I'll be doing after the apprenticeship. I said to continue growing have them sign me up for a new apprenticeship immediately after and said that the moment you think you're done learning, is the moment you've given up.

[@RuthRandoms]

Great advice. I'm a careers adviser, and try to help students to prepare for these things!

The true strength is where you are so good at your job you get headhunted and skip out the interview all together.

[@canadianmetalhead]

As a 3rd year apprentice plumber, with all of the companies I've been with(3 so far) the 'interview' was very informal. Pretty much a 2 minute phone conversation with every single one of them. Two of them didn't even look at my resume before hand. This video does not portray the trade world whatsoever.

[@harrysingh2176]

The first interview is actually really good. My foreman loves this shit. Hire people with no prospects that no one else will hire, give them dirt wages to move dirt all day.

end of the day, the person interviewing you wants to see that 1. you actually give a shit about the job and not the money or anything else 2. you got what the job application needs for you to actually be able to definetely get the job, just make sure you listen to point one.

this is so unfair. the interviewer should appreciate the fact that he's being completely honest. he would probably turn out to be one of their best workers, but instead they will turn him down and hire someone one who lies to them just to tell them exactly what they want to hear.. this is why so many companies end up with employees who slack off and cheat and steal.... if they would hire the guy who's being honest they would have better employees.

The second guy cared enough about the position that he would lie to obtain it. Greater effort equals greater reward

This is appalling. It is an interview for an apprenticeship yet the questions he is supposed to ask include 'What training do you offer?' and 'Are there opportunities to gain qualifications?' He doesn't even know what an apprenticeship is. He has no chance of getting the job.

[@Joe-ef4zo]

Getting it right - "Ummm" "Uhhhh" "Like" "Yeah" ....

I'm amazed a 17 year old is being interviewed for this. I was in high school then and doing summer jobs but that was all. I am surprised they would sign a minor in high school up for an apprenticeship. I would think you would have to finish high school at least to try this.

Chloe T 2 years later... yes it is him😂

[@jedrzejku]

this is a joke. it's literally two different people from different backgrounds, not just phrasing the answers correctly. if the first max wanted to be like the second max, he would need to rethink his entire life - change friends, learn new vocabulary, buy new clothes, etc. He'd have to be a completely different person. Both Maxes were honest but were just completely different people. The first one just wasn't ready to interact in a professional environment. There could be a million reasons why: different parents, different upbringing, financial troubles at home, drug issues at home, etc. The second Max looked like he had been prepared somehow, whether through help from friends and family, or because he'd interviewed before. I understand the point of teaching good habits for interviews but this is actually very prejudice and possibly racist.

[@rhysoden4211]

+jedrzejku hahahahaha quality and strangely true.
