Oak Ridge Electrical JATC
Once you receive a qualifying score of 4 or higher on the aptitude test, you will be scheduled for an interview with our committee. Our committee interviews once a month, as needed. The committee is composed of 6 members, 3 from Local 270 and 2 from National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).
Most interviews last 10 to 20 minutes.
Before you arrive, we ask that you review the policy statement which can be found here.
-
Don't spend too much time on a question.
-
When asked about your previous experience, describe the situation you encountered, what you did in that situation and how it turned out.
-
Focus on the questions that the committee asks. Avoid irrelevant topics.
-
Speak loud and clear.
-
Relax. The interview is not an interrogation. It is an opportunity for you to meet and speak with the Apprenticeship Committee.
The interview will be a series of questions about how you have handled situations in your life that are relevant to your success in the apprenticeship.
They will want to know the situation, what you did, and the result.
These situations can be from work, school or at home.
The interview team usually consists of all 6 committee members. Each committee member will take turns asking you a question during your interview.
-
We ask that you arrive 10 minutes early

If you do not show for your scheduled interview, and do not make arrangements before your scheduled time, you will not be rescheduled for another interview for 6 months past your most recent application. You will be required to re-apply.
