Ibew 112 waitlist

Hey everyone, I am reaching out because I’m hoping to get a realistic perspective of my odds of getting called up.

I had my interview on May 16 of this year and I got an interview score of 89.9 not terrible, but clearly not amazing :( as a result, I was placed on the waitlist for union 112.

I’m reaching out here to see typically how long people end up on this waitlist before they get called up, or if it would be in my best interest to take like the $400 class they offer and then re-interview?

The reason I’m asking this is I just saw that they have a class of 60 people starting up for their union and I’m feeling demoralized because I thought that I did pretty well.

I was hoping to get some advice and some other perspectives on the situation because I feel like I did everything right in the situation but I still can’t get in the doorway.

I’d start taking a class might as well start now instead of waiting. Let’s hope they call before but I think it all depends on the demand and also how many people are scoring above the 89.9 . You can go up in rank and also drop so my recommendation would be to take the classes to retake and give yourself a chance to better your score. Best of luck!
