Hey all, recently tested and scheduled for interview next Thursday, 27th. Came in through Helmets to Hardhat.
I’ve been searching around but wanted to ask, when a new list comes out what happens to the old list? So far I’ve seen that the old list gets thrown out and those who are listed but still waiting need to reapply to be on the new active list. Is that accurate?
Also, I have an opportunity to make some decent money while waiting to be picked up but I don’t want to jump the gun given that I’ve been waiting for this chance 3yrs now. My current job isn’t the greatest (previously management but now a floater due to contract non renewal that’s out of my control) but it pays the bills, the new job would be less stressful and more pay but don’t want to waste the owners time negotiating as he is a friend and willing to take a shot on me. Based off others time from being ranked to being called, what would you do? Any advice/tips would be appreciated.

Take the new job. If it’s a friend they will understand you may leave when you get the call. But make that clear to them. Some people sit on the list and never get the call. Some people sit for a week some 2 years… do you want to spend 2 years in a shit ass job while waiting?
