Union apprenticeship sign-ups near Omaha - 14 months and counting

The training centre near Omaha opened applications for apprenticeships in electrical and welding trades. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Applications close in 3 weeks. What do you wish you had known?

Bring your transcripts and any proof of work history. They asked for both in the interview.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
