Still waiting for my presec to clear ..almost 3 yrs from time of application till today.
Got all test done within weeks of applying ...now gotta wait till my presec clears so i can redo my test phy&med again..
lol been avoiding this site for a while..got bit by teh bug and back here trading sob stories of how the recruiting process is slow....
MY ADVICE: 1) stop Bitching and keep working at getting yourself into shape.
2) Dont be so gullible..shite happens files tend to get lost whatever(belive me been thru those nightmare).
Some recruiters may blow smoke up your arse making you think your leaving next week(believe me your not !)
if you end up on course in a week after applying good for you..seriously i mean it.
3)
Keep doing what you are doing till you get "THE CALL" to show up on so and so date to get sworn in.
4) It is a good practise to call thhe CFRC and find out about the progress of your fiile once every3 months, keeps you satisfied that it is indeed being worked on also eliminates the posibility that errors go unnoticed for 6 months, then they call yoou back and say oh BTW you filled this incorrrectly or some information is missing..futhering your anger and disappointment of not being processed sooner.(just an example)
Sorry if I came across harsh, just venting some steam and trying to distribute a good dose of realiity. Oh yeah not to tick off any recruiters but this is from personal experience and having being witness to recruiters hyping up potential recruits, if #2 rubs ya the wrong way I apologise
although I can say this for the CFRC that smoke up the rear has almost stopped since the last time I checked with them, Now I get approximate time frames (eg. 12-18 months or so on) which is more helpful both for the CFRC and the potential recruit, by eliminating the influx of calls by recruits every day/week/month to find out about the status of their file and also good for the recruit as they have an approx timeframe to work with. End rant/ ;D
TO ALL RECRUITS WAITING TO GET IN:
READ AND REFLECT on the line #3, It will do you good.
Cheers
