Sorry for the confusion, but I'm not in Austin. I'm in Raleigh, NC.

Oops, our department hired a guy here in Austin on the same day. Good luck regardless.

I think skilled butcher's experience is all you can really ask for. To give it a shot and decide if it's something you want to continue to pursue. It would suck to have to quit because of unstable work but that didn't happen here and the best decision for him was made. This trade ticks every box for me in terms of work variety, being related to things I've done in school, skill attained, pay, hours, etc. but I'll see for myself whenever I get called. Any info about the trade is useful and this was very valuable info. Thanks.

It really is a great trade, just difficult to get established if you are a helper. I was in Mods so i literally had to learn everything really quick and the owners of my company really pushed us to hurry and work which made it even more difficult to learn and then we had to do little repair and other locations around Austin WHILE we were doing mods/construction . I am always here to help new guys . I got hired on with Solution , who is an awesome dude so he can help yall .

Fun questions, what company did you work for and was there OT?

my first company was thyssen , my mechanic was an adjuster so when there was a elevator that was about to be completed , yes we would get overtime... my second company was tejas, and we got some overtime but not much.

Thanks, I was wondering. I've been placed with Otis in mods.

I got the call yesterday here in Houston. I start Monday morning. It's been a long time coming, about a year and a half

Congrats. What number were you on the list?

Got the call for Austin, gotta be there Wednesday

Congratulations man, wow they must be flying through people if they've called you already. I guess I'd better start keeping track for myself.

Congrats! Is it true that 70% or above is all that matters? They don't consider the score at all? (besides pass/fail)
