Hello. First time poster here.
I’m looking for any advice and/or guidance in the process of interviewing for a union pipefitter/plumber in Minnesota.
My experience is unfortunately limited to only a year of working for a contractor in Iowa doing almost exclusively rough in work for new home builds. From the sump basket all the way to the roof vent and everything in between. I do all the plumbing myself around the house whenever that needs to happen as well.
I’d very much like to enter the trade and grow to be a master plumber, however I understand the odds of getting a union job are slim. So I thought I might reach out to the experts here, anyone who has gone through the process or just has advice to throw at me. I’m very curious to find out more about the actual interview process. Threads I’ve found online seem to be at least 10 years old, sorry if I missed one here.
Full disclosure I’m currently 48 years old and perhaps that’s a strike against me but I’m in good physical and mental shape and could easily put 10 years or more together as a journeyman.
Thanks in advance for any insight. Your comments are much appreciated.
