that's funny, those were my 3 - in reverse order  (until I modified my app to only RMS Clerk)

 

[white-1]

haha that's kind of cool.

 

[Lil_T]

It is - it'd be neat if we ended up on the same BMQ. 

Though probably unlikely as I'm not going anywhere til at least May.

Most of the delay between submitting the application and doing the CFAT and stuff was me trying to get in touch with them! It took about two weeks to get a call through to the guy I was supposed to contact! But then again, this is not helped by my class schedual. They should really have a few evening hours every once in a while!

Does anybody know when the aircrew selection boards in April are? I'm going to give them a call, but just wondering if anybody here had an idea.

Are you sure about those dates? 

 

[SoldierInTheMaking]

Hahah I was going to say something but I thought I'd just let it go.

 

[NS Valley Girl]

Hello Romeokilo & SoldierInTheMaking:

What is the problem with those dates?  If you're referring to my dates of May 2008... I meant to do this.  And yes, I did my application after I wrote my CFAT.  Am I missing something?  Or am I an anomaly?

Are you serious? I have never heard of anyone writing their CFAT BEFORE actually applying.
Now I am confused.

 

[NS Valley Girl]

Ohhhh.... I am very serious.  No kidding.  Explained below. 

I am near CFB (14W) Greenwood and a few times a year the Halifax recruiting centre will come here for recruiting purposes and/or Career Fairs.  And On those days, you can write the CFAT.  After you write the CFAT, they send you away for an hour while they do the marking/scoring.  They bring you back in individually and tell you how you did.  At this point you can apply or take the application home.  Back in May 2008 I wrote the CFAT and did well.  Not until this year, did I want to fully pursue a career with the CF.  My CFAT scores of course, were still on file.  So, I recently filled out the application and dropped it off (Feb 27/09).  I have now been scheduled for my Medical & Interview for March 17th/09.

I didn't know my application process was 'odd.' 

Interesting?!

 

[SoldierInTheMaking]

Well I can't say I have ever heard of that before, so it is quite interesting to me that they do that.
But anyways good luck with your interview and medical on the 17th.

[NS Valley Girl]

Appreciated. 
Hopefully Wednesday I will have an update for my 'application process' sample; here online. 

***Maybe something else worth mentioning.... On March 18th/09 the Halifax Recruiting Centre will be at Camp Aldershot for recruiting purposes.  On this day, you can take the CFAT.  Like I did.  As well, they are holding the interviews & medicals the same day.  A one shot deal.  Is this unheard of too? ***

yeah, they held the same type of job fair last year in Fredericton. I wrote my cfat there and scored well, but like you i wasn't interested in full time at that point. when i went to apply this year they somehow lost my scores so I had to do it all over again. It was a pain but i knew if i could do it once i could do just as well or better the second time. :st.patty:

Interview went smashing and now just waiting..... Got a bit of inspriation from the CAPT as she said i had a well prep interview and that i would be very competetive at my choices as I had alot of qualifications for both postitons.

She also told me to start uping my physcial routine to 3-4 times a week, now just a waiting game....... :threat:

 

[SoldierInTheMaking]

Awesome man, I'm playing the waiting game as well lol. Good luck!

[Rec Centre Toronto CO]

CFAT before application:
This is called a "Test - no file" process, where you get the chance to write the CFAT to determine for what trade you qualify.  Your name is recorded, so there are no 'freebies' for CFATs, and it prevents a lot of processing on the recruiting end.  Yes it exists, when centres see a need to do so.
