Hello,
Well, I took this forums advice regarding taking small steps and I sent off my application via CFVRC last Friday and already received confirmation of my file being selected for further processing. So yay. ;D I'll be receiving a call next week or calling them if I haven't yet heard from them to schedule the CFAT.
Now the issue is, and I am just finding this out now to my own shock, that I didn't graduate high school. I mean, I went to the ceremony, I received a diploma, etc. And I got my high school transcript now and I am 2 credits short of the requirement!! :crybaby:
In Alberta where I finished high school you need 100 credits to graduate and I only have 98. Now I'm considering doing some sort of catch up to get two credits? But now I live in BC? not your problem, ill figure that one out.
What I need help with is I indicated High School Graduate on my application and now when I go in I have to self-declare as what? Grade 10 Sc-Mth I guess? I'll probably just talk to them but a heads up is always nice...
This new turn of events doesn't close off my chosen trades: 1. Com Eng & 2. Infmn - but I imagine it will make my file a lot less competitive. :-[
If I nail the CFAT and PT stuff, have a good interview, etc, does that do a lot to make you more competitive?
Hahaha, I cant even believe this! I thought I've been graduated from high school for 4 years. :facepalm:
Anyway, any suggestions or comments should be appreciated.
Thanks for reading
PS - btw I have prior experience as a welder and labourer, like, 6 years worth of work experience, meaning I am mechanically inclined. I thought I was intelligent too but...now I figure this out. Go figure. Will prior work experience in a related field act as merit like a degree for an officer would? Just wondering gents
