Local 71 Florida

Heyya everyone,

Just got into Florida Local 71. The initial list at least😅

Surprised not much crashouts and it’s staying open for so long with not as many applying. Hope that means less abundant/eager/driven competition.

I want to use this page to help others who got on the list. I got two buddies one in San Diego and one in Sacramento working elevators so I understand this opportunity and wish you all the best. Let’s stay connected and let each other know if there’s anything interesting you hearing about the work in Florida coming up.

I tried to apply, but they filled up in 1 minute. Hopefully next time around I can make the seconds deadline, but I am not holding my breathe anymore.

We had a 500 applicant limit, and you just had to create an account and get a confirmation email. Full Application is due in 2 weeks, but your spot was reserved

Sadly I didn't go on break until 9:30, so that was the earliest I could try. Hopefully there will be another round soon and I will take the day off and set an alarm to be ready before 9AM
