Allow me to clarify. My experience as a Minority/Electrician is that I better show up dressed as a Corporate Executive for a job interview in our industry. I have been on interviews that even the appearance of my car in the parking lot has been scrutinized by the interviewer during the Interview!

[@LexElectric]

That is an interesting perspective. In my neck of the woods, if one showed up in a suit at an apprenticeship interview, it would not go over well. This information is based on what I have worn, seen, and asked others about in their experiences.

I had an interview with IBEW in Kitchener, Ontario yesterday! I was the only one who I saw wearing work boots lol. But we did need to climb a ladder and install a outlet box as part of the practical test, so I didn't regret my choice. Always love your videos Lexie. Nice fits!

[@LexElectric]

That is awesome! I'm glad it paid off. Hope you get in!

@@LexElectric thank you! It would be a dream come true professionally. However I am from a small town in the woods, and after going to the city, it was a wake up call that I might not be suited to living there. It's a hard decision, that is for sure.

[@gmwilliams4314]

Dude, they were hazing you. Believe me, what you were asked to do was not part of any 1st Interview I have ever heard of. Think about it, what would have happened if one of you fell off that ladder and was injured? Who's liable? I have interviewed many perspective employees and I assure you no Corporate Lawyer who values his Law License would dare sanction anything like that.

@@gmwilliams4314 I doubt it. I have heard practical tests like this can common for some unions.

[@gmwilliams4314]

My point was in reference to his Safety. He is not a Union member or employee therefore he is not covered by the Union's liability insurance. 10's of millions of dollars are paid out globally every year for construction accidents dealing with ladder usage. Who is going to pay if he is injured, the Union Representative? Your personal safety is priority #1 to you and hopefully your Union! By the way, a Union's Primary Purpose for Existing is to Protect Their Members not to needlessly endanger them!

@@Amitkumarpanday229 from what I remember, they asked about situations where I didn't understand what my foreman had said. Also what type of stuff I did in my spare time. And a time when I couldn't meet a deadline.

So you think women should dress like a sloppy man?

[@gmwilliams4314]

Hey, stay in your apprentice electrician lane. This was really bad.😕😕😕

[@LexElectric]

If I listened to people like you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks for your feedback, but maybe stay in your lane? 😉
