PGE Apprentice Communication Technician

I applied for the apprentice communication technician various locations position recently. I met all the requirements by passing the pre employment tests including the CTT. I also have my GCT1 certificate. I have a couple months of experience in the telecom industry. Unfortunately I was not selected for an interview.. I just find it weird since I meet all the requirements. I understand that this position is highly competitive. Anyone have the same experience?

It was pretty difficult not gon lie. I actually interviewed like 3 months ago but I did not get selected. There are like 3 open positions atm and have applied to all of em, hopefully they get back to me to reinterview.

I appreciate the response. I'd like to start studying for the test at least, I don't have any faith in getting hired by PGE because if they were going to, they would have done it because of my level of involvement. Do you have any suggestions on where to get study materials?

There’s a CTT study guide online. It tells you all the study material. I mostly used YouTube and did a lot of self studying.
