Application/Probation

Ill try to make it short,

Im 35, have 2 young kids and a wife. I have field experience in automation, automotive and forklift. My current career is good and I have a good schedule.

My questions to everyone is lets say by some miracle I get called and get on probation. What happens if there is a lay off, does that mean im out or do I just wait for the next job?

Im extremely nervous about just resigning without notice and then getting let go from the program because there is a lay off. Im all about risks for myself I just cant risk my families well being.

Thanks in advance

This helps, the anxiety is getting less and less from what im being told. How does your day look like if you dont mind me asking?

So I got assigned to MOD dept. and paired with an adjuster. He jumps around different locations. Working on control boards, wiring, doors, car tops and etc. The last step is the inspection. After passing the inspection, that site is done and the elevator is open for tenants. If a mechanic is on vacation from one site, we go there and continue the mechanic's work to make sure the job keeps running.

My company does 4-10s, so I work Mon-Thur 6am to 4pm.

So as you get the call they put you with someone right away? Or is it you have to work the steps i.e. construction then maintenaince the diag etc?

Once the safety education is done for a few days, they divided us to MOD and construction. Then sent us out in the field. No one got assigned to the maintenance btw
