What a paradigm breaking thought.
Cool contribution to the thread, bro. :facepalm:
Romanamazamanz, the CFRC is a different beast than what
I've seen in the civilian world. YMMV
I've applied to jobs where there might be 10 applicants for a specific position.
The interviewer might remember you, maybe they won't.
At the CFRC, they have about a
bazillion applications to go through, and unless you came in on a unicorn, wearing a clown wig, they might not remember you, and that's where your persistence might pay off.
Don't douche it up, but don't just let it die.
An example:
I was told to do an eye test outside of the CFRC.
I was told, in no uncertain terms, to, "
CALL ME DIRECTLY AS SOON AS YOU DO THAT TEST", by my contact at my local CFRC.
I did the test, and called the number he gave me.....it went like this:
"Hi, I'm hammer Sandwich, and I was told to call with test results........blah blah blah."
The contact says, "Ok.....Yeah?...." (as in: what do you want me to do about it?)
He hangs up......I hang up.
Same day, I get a call at work from THE EXACT SAME PERSON, who informs me, (in a very consoling, and understanding tone, BTW), that I failed my eye test.
[size=10pt](No sarcasm, my contact was really cool about it.)[/size]
That's just how it goes.....It's a BIG MACHINE.
You might get different stories from different folks, but they're not gonna lie to you....
In my experience, things change from minute-to-minute in the green machine.
They're just going with the info they're given at that time.
Anywhoo.....nobody's going to get hurt by POLITE, PERIODIC, (as in not every 5 minutes) queries.
Good Luck,
