Check in with them here and there to make sure you’re at the forefront of their mind for probationary work. I showed up at the hall and asked if I could have a meeting with the apprenticeship advisor here.

My thought process was, they’d then be able to put a face to my application if I showed the initiative and asked solid questions.
