Preparing For The Interview
At least 10% more applicants than the committee will select for apprenticeship will be interviewed. Those applicants interviewed will be re-ranked based on interview score and final selections will be made from that list.
If you are offered an interview, you will need to thoroughly read and understand the NEJATC Policy Statement which can be found here.
Interview Tips
- 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 8 committee members. Each committee member will take turns asking you a question during your interview.
The Day Of Interview
- We ask that you arrive 10 minutes early
- Once your interview is finished, you are free to go.

You are welcome to call or email the office with any questions.
