Hi.
i was just wondering how important is work history/experience, compared to education, when apply to the CF.
before you answer, i'll just tell you a little about me and why i have no work history.
I'm 26 years old and i'm applying to the CF as an Aerospace Engineering Officer.
I have a M.Eng in Aerospace Science and Engineering from the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies, graduated in mar 2013. i also have a B.Eng in Aerospace Engineering with a specialization in Management Science Certification from Ryerson University, during which time i was VP of Public Relations for the Ryerson Student Union, among other extracurricular activities.
In the last 10+ years, I've gone from high school, to undergraduate, directly to graduate school, with a 1 year gap between undergrad and grad school, and another 1 year gap after graduate school.
My only possible advantage (that i can think of off the top of my head), over other candidates will be my Masters Degree (and yes i know there will be other candidate with Masters or PhDs), and the direct applicability of my fields of study.
will my degree override my lack of work history? will my degree in aerospace and management be favoured above a degree in some other field (mechanical, science, business, etc)?
Thank You in advanced.
