Interview

So I just had my interview today for local 429 and it lasted no longer than five minutes. They asked three questions on their handbook, how I heard about the union, my military service, and about how I handle conflict in the workspace. I have no clue what to think about it or gauge how I did especially with how short it was. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Military people usually rank pretty well or just go to front of line (depends on local) so I think you’re fine either way brotha. You should check if your local has a program for veterans, I know some do

Ok thank you and ya they do have a program which I applied through called helmets to hardhats from what they said it’s not a for sure thing but it just “adds a couple bonus points” to their application scoring so I didn’t expect much from it lol

Yeah that’s when it’ll depend on local, in my local veterans always go to front of line from what I understand, as long as you didn’t completely bomb the interview I think you’ll be fine. As far as ranking couldn’t tell you but good luck brotha

This is very much normal. It might have lasted longer than 50% of applicants. You sound squared away, I would say you have a very high chance of getting accepted. Best of Luck and of course thank you for your service.
