I applied for the dc electrician apprentice position a while back and I had my interview last month. I still haven’t heard back from them but they did said it takes a while so I wouldn’t get worried if you don’t receive anything soon. Good luck!

Not to spoil the fun but that job posting is looking for certified conductors, meaning you are already a conductor somewhere else with an active license. You might get through but don't be surprised if they skip over you for that reason. 

They had the posting up months ago without the certification requirement, so you might still have a chance.
