Lads I'm a clueless shitposter boomer that through sheer persistence managed to pull a job interview next week for a plumber assistant position. How do I increase my chances of getting hired?
I'm a /fit/izen so I'm in pretty good shape and have a tiny bit of diy experience but that's it. Really shitty memory btw.

You’re probably retarded. You’re middle aged interviewing for an apprentice position and you post here asking retarded questions. Highlight the fact that you don’t have a wife or girlfriend, no kids, no drug problems, own an alarm clock and reliable transportation to work. An actual monkey could be a plumbers apprentice, they just want to be sure you’ll show up and not be drunk/high/committing DV

Good to know. I'm retarded in the sense of being pretty lazy and not wanting to be a slave to (((them))) but otherwise I consider myself to have decent common sense.
I guess I'll make sure to highlight the points you have just mentioned and my willingness to learn.

Not completely true. I was a surveyors assistant for a company and our job was to collect data points of a small towns whole drainage system. We found that on many occasions the water was flowing up hill and was still draining properly.

If there's enough pressure behind it and the outlet is lower than the inlet then it will indeed flow uphill it's pretty kooky brother

Just be honest about what you know OP. They probably don't expect much but will have you driving to the store to get parts or digging holes or snaking drains to start. If you lie about your experience they will find out immediately when you're sent to do something by yourself and fuck it up.

Compression lines don't have to be tighter than hell, finger tighten then give it maybe a half turn with your wrench. Drains you will want to tighten with wrenches until you can't get more out of it then test with hot and cold water for longer than you think you need to.

I know that as I own a bunch of them.
Doesn't matter though because I didn't get the job, turns out recruiters don't like when you have lots of hiatus on your cv.

Also applied to a position help assembling windows and another to help installing PVC pipes, I missed a call from the former and they didn't call me again and the later has not even yet replied to my email.
I too applied to a beaner fruit picking job but they just texted me to say I didn't get it either.
Depressing as hell, if I don't get hired soon I'll apply for benefits and go on the dole lmao. Food stamps might be a better option than looking for a job every day only to get kicked on the face by employers.

>Pressure? In a drainage system?

Summary:

anon says he once observed water flowing uphill.
another anon calls him out on his bullshit
various anons chime in clearly talking about water constrained in pipes being fed by pumps or by gravity; in no way does any of this constitute water "flowing uphill" in any intelligent sense

you are here now. continue at your peril; be forewarned that idiot autists are never wrong and have never been wrong, and won't be wrong in this case, because water actually does flow uphill in their world.
