Know your IBEW history
While this may (or may not) score some brownie-points, I can't imagine that most interviewees are honestly expected to know much union history, are they?

No, they usually just ask questions that pertain to your previous employment. They will teach you a little bit about union history in your first year and throughout your apprenticeship.

They will ask you to tell them what you did in certain situations and how you handled others.

It really isn't that bad as long as you are even a little out-going. If not then find a way to let loosen up and go with the flow.

Think about why you want to be an electrician. That one is always asked. A dare, cuz of the money, my parents told me to get a job, or the court ordered me to apply, are not the right answers. I would mention mechanical abilities and being able to use tools if applicable. Remove facial piercings. They shouldn't matter but they do.
