[zackmenzies21]

Hi Guys

1st time on the forum so please bare with me !!

I am looking to pursue a career as an electrician and I have been lucky enough to get an interview for an apprentice electrician this week and I am presently preparing for this.

I am looking for some guidance and knowledge from any experts out there please.

Could anyone please provide me with an examples of questions that I may be asked in the interview?. I want to give myself every opportunity in being successful so any examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Research the company if possible, look at the website. Shows your interested.

Have an answer ready for how your going to get to work (if applicable) other than one of your family taking you.

Why do you want to be an electrician will more than likely come up too...

Thanks again

I hate the leading questions

Another one "we are the leads in front pannal displays"... "is there many companies making them!!"

Hi Zack, couple of question from me first, how old are you? have you any electrical experience? They will probably ask why you want to be an Electrician? What do you think your working day will consist of? Do you have your own transport? how are you with team work? the list goes on, but turn your phone OFF, once the interview is over they will more than likely ask you how you feel the interview went, and have you any questions you would like to ask, good luck

Hi, thanks for replying to this post.

I've just turned 18 and just finished school so I don't have that much electrical experience.

Thanks a lot for these questions!

This has helped me prepare even more!!
