Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[DAA]

This was what my interviewer told me... ??? Could it have had something to do with me not being on a Merit List for any of my trade choices?

More than likely, an idle threat!

Everything feels like it happened so quickly... Exactly 4 months after I applied, I'll be on a plane heading out to St Jean!
I live a ferry and a 3 hour drive from Victoria, so the recruitment office scheduled me for 1-day processing.  The Captain who conducted my interview asked me to call him 3 weeks later for an update on my application process, but I never got through to him or got a response to my voice mails.
Regardless, I was offered a position 2 months after my test and interviews.

What a great Thanksgiving treat!

I figured I should update my Process considering it's been awhile. I did my interview update on the 19th of July, unfortunately the MCC deemed me unfit at that time to re-enroll because of my checkered work history, she told me to email her near the end of October as I will have been working for my place of employment for 6 months, to re-open my file.

Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for a medical update, the MCC told me I will likely be enrolled before BMQ in January, thankfully if that is the case I will complete Weekend BMQ before BMQ-L in the Summer.

Just a curious question (I have family who may very well be in the same boat shortly...) about the "re-enrolling" and "checkered work history..."

Is this a thing? Can a MCC actually deem you unfit? And what entails a checkered work history at 20 years old? So much so that the military wants nothing to do with you until a bit later? I don't know of too many young people (I know there are a few, but...) who have a solid work background. I had 12 jobs within 3 years prior to enlisting. Is that considered checkered? Even for the '80s?

I guess what i'm asking is "Does one NEED a job to be considered for employment with the CAF?"

 

[RMJOE]

I have been waiting since March but if feels like 2 years. My goal is to provide comfort and clean air to people, so I thought why not do that for the men and woman in the CF. I will be taking a huge pay cut but my life is in the forces; I know that at age 33.
