Congrats Banko!!! ;D
not to be condescending or anything, because I'm sure it happens, i wouldn't even think about applying for a job that i am going to be in for at least 3 years of my life without thinking about what that job entails.
Engineers is what i want and if i have to stick it out, then so be it! so far I've be quasi lucky. i handed in all of my forms, did my CFAT/PT on October 6th and although CFRC -Toronto told me it would be 3 weeks to a month to get back the security clearance it was back in about 4 days! unfortunately the first interview/medical date was Nov. 3. as i understand it, this still seems to be a relatively short time to wait.
this seems to me to be the part where it slows down considerably.
Also, i was wondering if someone could explain to me about selection committee i.e when they are held etc I've seen conflicting posts and would like to get a definitive answer? and open positions in the engineers/being offered a position? i know this is based on the merit list, i dint have any engineering qualifications parsee, but i am currently in my first year at york university, taking software development which does require a fair amount of math and some physics. the only problem is, i stopped taking physics in grade 11 and i cant put on my file that I'm at york taking software development because i haven't been in a year yet, so basically all they see is my high school diploma.
just in case anyone suggests it, i cant handle sitting at a computer for most of the day for the next 4 years it would drive me :dontpanic: and would prefer not to finish and get my degree (stupid as that may sound) i just want in!!!!!!
thanks for your help in advance....
oh also, one more thing (sorry) i was in cadets over in england, but again i could not put down any of that information on my application because the info space for cadets was for Canadian cadets ONLY. i did ask my recruiter about this, but the answer was that I'm sol on that.
should i mention this in the interview? will i need to prove it? a minor inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless. and if i do include this in the interview and am required to provide proof, will it hold up my application?
sorry for such a long post
i know not all (and if by not all i mean most) of my questions dint apply to this thread but i couldn't find much info on these specific questions.
thanks for all of your help and reply if you can
