Topic: Interview Tomorrow

[Romanmaz]

I only had one interview, so I can't vouch for them all.  It started with "why do you want to be in the Canadian Forces?"  I replied with the usual; "I want to serve my country, Sir," "I'm hoping to go overseas and help people, Sir."
 After a few minutes I was met with "no, why do YOU want to be in the Forces?"  I was brutally honest and mentioned the reasonable pay and job security that you won't find anywhere else. 

Try to look sharp.  I just dressed business casual; slacks and a dress shirt, no tie.  I was also told that I was the first candidate with a decent haircut in some time.  Try to look professional.  It might sound shallow, but I wouldn't hire some of the guys unless they gave a heck of an interview.

Any update from the OP?  My interview was a while ago now, so things may have changed a bit.  It sounds like they're getting tougher.

Do you remember that non-disclosure you signed before the interview started?.....

So I had my interview today.  Went with just plain dress pants and a dress shirt.  I don't own a blazer and hate ties, that being said I thought I looked fairly good.  My hair is always short and I'm clean shaven as well so that couldn't have hurt.  On the actual interview side of things I felt like they went really well and got some good feedback from the sergeant about my application/interview.  So now I hurry up and wait and hopefully the call from Ottawa comes at the same pace as the rest of my application process (very fast).  Good luck to everyone still in the process and don't be frightened by the interview.  So far everyone at the CFRC has been very nice and easy to talk to/with.
