How long after interview do you get a date for selection

[pankaye]

hello. this is my first post. i am applying to join army (PWRR) and i am really looking forward to it. i have gone through all the initial steps in application (BARB , medical forms, interviews etc) my career office even had us do a 1.5 miler to asses fitness. my question is this: I had my interview with my recruiter on 16 Feb and the office manager later on the same day. my recruiter said i did really well and that she would get in touch with a date for me to go to selection. but it almost 2 weeks now and still no word . how long does it take to get a date for selection? i am very anxious i can't even leave my cellphone in me room when i go to pee or shower. any word would be appreciated

not entirely sure how long but i had to wait about 6 weeks between interview and selection.

it can take that long? after my interview my recruiter said she could give me the date 2 days of the interview that's why i was wondering

You are allowed to ring them up and ask you know..?

[pankaye]

i know. i phoned my recruiter three days after the interview because she did say 2 days. basically she told me in pretty strong terms to wait until she contacted me. so there i am not knowing if she phoned home whilst i was out and me checking my voice mail every 1 hour in case it went straight to voicemail

Well if they did call and you were not in its not like they wont call back just keep waiting its all you can do Well done on passing everything so far

After your interviews your Recruiter then clicks you forward on the system, they then have to wait for ADSC to find you a date!

Your recruiter gets an alert by e mail each morning, they will call when they see you have a date on the system.
You just have to wait mate ringing up wont make ADSC move any faster.

all depends on the time of year aswell doesn't it ? like take in dates for training and stuff?

[pankaye]

i guess you are right. i can only wait can't i? . maybe i should use the time to train some more and try and get cut bout 54 seconds from my 1.5 miles (currently 10m 54s.)

[Dawber]

Yes. Pretty sure if you get it down to 10 minutes, you won't find selection as hard, also more chance of actually getting sent off for selection.

i finally got a date for selection 05/03/09. The call came yesterday. but only three days notice . ATR pirbight. anyone going there on that day?
