hes moved me onto my third interview cause i havent done that yet, he said my running ill do fine cause he knows i can do it in less time than i did it (stupid me)Millar wrote:Most importantly did they allow you to move onto booking your ADSC? My Careers office wouldn't let you progress onto the next stage unless they seen that you could get below 11mins on 1.5, lift the power bag at max weight, take Jerry cans max distance and score high on the Ice Breaker.
Great news m8, my friend is on his 6th IDSC attempt because he can do everything perfectly but his run time won't go below 11.07 so your lucky thereAlistair14 wrote:hes moved me onto my third interview cause i havent done that yet, he said my running ill do fine cause he knows i can do it in less time than i did it (stupid me)Millar wrote:Most importantly did they allow you to move onto booking your ADSC?

Ooh fair enough, a decent enough time!Millar wrote:No he's going for Royal Signals and he needs 14:30 for his Job Choice, but my Careers Office have really high standards and won't put anyone through no matter there job choices unless they get below 11mins, there's no arguing it either as at the end of the day it's down to them who they put through, shame really though as we applied together, would have liked to have been doing Basic with him, but that's life haha

if it's a formal Interview do allot of research on your first Job choice, and brush up a little on 2nd and 3rd, they want to make sure that you haven't just chosen the Job with the best looking cap badge, sit back in your chair staring them in the eye, don't leen forwards or touch there desk, talk slowly and confidently, smile and polite when appropriate and above all else shake there hand and thank them for there time at the end of the Interview![]()
Best of luck and keep us posted.
