    Good to know. I should probably talk to a recruiter now that were in April....new fiscal year now means more spots are open for the year.

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    So here's my question to members of this forum: What is the best way to become a PA Officer and is there an ROTP-style program for individuals with a BA who want to go to grad school to become a PA Officer?

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    They prefer hiring those with a Master's degree. I hear that it's rare that someone gets a PA officer spot with only a bachelor's. They must have 3+ years of experience in the field to be considered with only a BA. I posted here because I know there are a few PA officers on the board here...

    That's great to hear. I will have the type of degree they're looking for, I just hope there's spots open up for PAO in the naval reserve when I apply in July.

    That's a potential option (reserves). Are there more spots available each year in the Reserves option?

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    Wow. 2 per year? I am guessing more than 2 people apply per year who have graduate degrees in the relevant fields (meaning that those with Bachelor's alone aren't very competitive)...that means that this officer position might be more competitive to get into than pilot. Do you need MANY YEARS of...

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    Well I will have my Bachelor's degree by the summer time, what type of places (or government departments) do you suggest applying to for part time jobs (or full time, depending if I get into the Masters programs of my choice this year) so that I can gain experience in media analysis/PR as I do...

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    Well on the website it said that the 'equivalent' of PA officer in civilian life is foreign affairs analyst, etc. So if I worked for the government as a policy analyst or in a department relating to political affairs, would that help me out too? I think it would otherwise they would not be...

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    It says Politics and International Relations even as potential degrees. Political Science is an "arts" degree. I think they care more about assessing your skills related to the job rather than JUST the degree you have. There's a reason it says "Master's Degree in any field". The completion of a...

    From the Public Affairs Officer qualifications on Forces.ca "To qualify for direct entry as a public affairs officer, you must have either a master’s degree in any field or, as a minimum, a Bachelor Degree in Art and Literature, Communications, Public Relations, International Relations...

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    My top choice at the moment is the Public Affairs Officer position. I plan to obtain a Master's degree in Public Administration before applying for the PA Officer position and to gain more direct work experience for the next 2 years in that field. Would that be considered a competitive...

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    Okay that clears up a lot, thanks. Also: Can you choose not to be employed as a FOO (are there other options at that point of your career) or is it standard and part of the job (no options)?

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    I have a question regarding the job(s) of artillery officers. I heard that many officers become Forward Observational Officers after 2-4 years as a regular field officer. Do you have a choice later on as to what type of job (as an officer) you want to do or do the forces tell you 'you will now...
