ProtectAndServe said:In April it's said new job opportunities may open correct? If so would people who apply in January be processed so that when April comes they can get offered a job, rather then applying in April and having to be processed and waiting more time... Just wondering?
From my own personal experience (and I may be wrong here) it would appear that the recruiting process is like a swinging door. You have to get your foot in the 'door' before the door (your trade choice) closes. If you don't get all your paperwork in before your trade closes your file is closed and you have to reapply when your trade opens and they start accepting applications for your trade again. I've read about people having interviews, medicals, aptitude tests, etc., canceled because their trade closed up. This is what I've gathered from reading through threads and talking to the recruiter handling my file. I noticed recently that the forces website showed that jobs that had previously not been accepting applications, were once again taking apps. They do not wait until they have the new numbers in April to start taking applications, that is just when they officially start offering jobs. You're better off getting your application in BEFORE April. Once again, I apologize if this info is incorrect. Hope the analogy helped though
P.S. Things were so much easier when I joined 10+ years ago. You applied and they pretty much told you on the spot that you got the job. :facepalm: However, its comforting to know that the military is being more choosy about who they offer jobs too.
