Hi All,
On Monday (26th) I had my Officer Selection Interview (pre-AIB) by telephone.
I felt the interview went well however the WO informed me that I had only just missed out on a passing mark. He told my that my knowledge was excellent, however I missed out on leadership experience (I had no leadership experience during my last 2 years at college) and my physical prep could have been better.
Initially I was told that my application would be deferred for a few months, however later that day I was informed by another phone call that my application was being rejected and I have to wait 12 months before re-applying for the same position (Aircrew Officer Pilot).
I am still determined and will be volunteering at my local cadet unit to gain more leadership experience and spend this time working on my fitness as well.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about other things I could be doing to make myself a more appealing candidate over the next 12 months?
I plan to apply for pilot again in 12 months and if I fail again I will begin looking for another position.
Thanks all,
