i passed the aptitude test in july of 2008 and it is now feb. 2009 and still have not recieved a letter for an interview yet. i was just wondering if this is normal, and if there is anything i could do about it.

What aptitude test, ABC,IEC, IBEW? Call them and find out, show that you care and are interested.

For IBEW, i have been calling about 2-3 times per month and they just say that they havn't scheduled interviews yet. they did say that i had the highest score on the test for the group, and it was the highest they have seen in a couple of years.

Be patient, a lot of union members are sitting on the bench. A lot of electricians, plumbers, carpenters as well and if you go by the news, a lot more. This economy is the worst I remember since I was a young tot and Reagan took over. Awww! the glorious days of youth gone by........

yeah, that was kinda what i was thinking. just that with the economy and all they just don't have the demand right now.
