Hi there,
I have a question about my current situation with the CF. I've been to two interviews and at the end of each I've been told to retake the CFAT because I need to increase my score. In the first interview last summer (which was initially for the Air NAV position) I was applying for the MARS Officer position, and was told to retake the CFAT to increase my score other than that you meet all other requirements. I did that, and then was told that the positions had been filled, and that my application with the CF will remain open or kept on file.
After a period of no response from the CF, the CF contacted me this summer to update my application if I was still interested. I decided to go in to my first interview this summer thinking I was still applying for the MARS position, but was informed that I should be looking for another position that is open and that I was to come in for another interview. The recruiters in my location suggested that I look into Officer positions due to my university degree, and advised on the Infantry and Armour positions.
I did that.
Once again, I went into the interview for Infantry Officer all prepared, and it was revealed to me that I had to retake the CFAT again to progress any further for an Infantry Officer position in the Direct Entry Plan. They didn't even bother doing an interview. The interviewers then went on to suggest (again) to look at NCM positions currently available on the web site, and come in for another interview in a couple of weeks.
So, my question is, how can you give someone a fair chance for a position -no, career, they truly believe in if you won't even do an interview or hear the candidate out, before making a decision?
Thank you
MR
