Hi guys! Long story, grab a coffee, have a smoke!
So 2008 I was sig op and got out (voluntary). Last year, january I applied for steward.
I did the interview medical (I didn't have to do the aptitudes test because I had already done it and passed it for every trade except supply postal and RSM). He reviewed my file and told me there were 15 positions left and that I should be fine. As I waited for him to call me, he had gone on some course, during his course (figures) all the positions got filled... So when he got back I called him and he offered me other trades. I decided to simply wait till this year because the reason I got out the first time was because I was in a trade I didn't want to be in there for I was not going to make that same mistake again. So I waited until this year.
My spouse got posted to halifax there for in july I got all my docs transfered to halifax from ottawa. Once I got confirmation that all my docs were here I was told to wait until janurary to come back and double check my docs in case anything changed, so I went, everything was fine and I was again tol to wait until april, as nothing was open until then.
April 2011 comes around and I show up asking what's going on with my file... They tell me steward is open and there are 50 position available. They advise me to just wait because they are loaded with applicants and that my file will be reviewed.I call again to make sure everythings ok (yeah I know, annoying) and they tell me my file is in the booking cell and that there is 25 positions only across canada. Then a week later I call the booking cell and they tell me steward is closed, so I get off the phone and call the recruiting center front desk and they tell me no steward is open...
Now I just don't know what to do... I'm willing to wait for steward but I mean how hard can it be? Is there miscommunication. I just have no idea wether to prepare myself to wait another year or... I'm just so lost and I'm getting mixed signals from the RC.
Some people don't want steward but have no other choice and they get in fine. What about the people who actually want steward (like me )
I'm not complaining I'm just a little confused, can anyone help!? Or advise me on what's going on. Is it just halifax? What should I do...
Thank you for your time. I appologize for the loooong story...
