Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Reserve6]

Update:

Well after nervously waiting a month and a half to hear the results on my medical (Injured my shoulder), I called in and my recruiter told me he just signed off on it and is beginning the reliability screening now and told me I'd be getting a call for a position by next week, and be coursed this summer for Reserves BMQ at Meaford.
So glad the waiting game is finally coming to a closing.

I did my interview today and I am glad I was qualified for the next process (reliability screening)!
The NCM interview for me was very straightforward and lasted only 20 minutes. I prepared a lot and
the selection officer just asked me 20% of what I prepared...

Just basically know your occupations and be honest. That's all... Because I didn't know how to prepare for interview,
I just memorized the whole description of each trade ( on the job, working environment, basic training, and occupational training).
And it turned out to be way way unnecessary.....but it didn't hurt me for being over-prepared.

I feel very weird after the interview even though it really went well...I mean I prepared a lot man!  :-X

A word of advice for those who have faced a long wait; do not overly preoccupy your day with thoughts of how your application is processing. It does not hasten the process one bit. Whenever you feel that your mind is wandering and thinking about your application, I suggest some pushups. Beat your face.
That being said, check in once a month with a recruiter (I was fortunate in that everyone at CFRC Montreal was quick, polite and friendly) to monitor your file's status.
Nothing beats the call when you do get it, so keep your head up and retain your stiff upper lip.
Looking forward to BMOQ in January.

Just received an offer for Infantry Officer. BMOQ Jan 18!
Completed my interview and medical last September. It's been a long wait, and still quite a while to go, but I'm so glad that I no longer have to worry about when/if I'm going to get the call.

Now I can just focus on enjoying the summer and making sure I'm as prepared as possible for training.

Looking forward to beginning this journey!

Thanks MJLANT,

I am definitely looking forward to getting started, and learning as much as I can during my service (certainly seems to be a diverse range of work with lots to learn in the ATIS Tech occupation).

Best of luck to you; hopefully no delays during your process and you're in soon too! :cheers:
