got my AFCO interview this week pretty well prepared but still worrying about the major question "why do i want to go in the RN?". i have a few answers anybody got any good ones to impress??!! please help!!! x :grin:
Mad Dog, one of the PO tas apes on the London a few years ago told me he couldn't choose between the RN, Army or RAF so he chose the RN because flares were in fashion at the time
My Irish mate said he joined for the boots.
Scouse joined because it was the navy or borstal
Jenny joined to get a husband
Paddy joined because the Irish navy already had an electrician
the thing is it is a bit of a family tradition to go inot the forces but am dad n bro were in the army but the navy appealed to me more i cant explain y tho!!!
That's fine, say that, then talk around the things that interest you about the service. If you take an answer from someone here, then it'll come across as ''borrowed'' when you say it.
How about:
I'm looking for a job which is more interesting than the standard 9 to 5 office (factory, shop etc) that very quickly becomes boring. I believe that a career in the navy will be varied and interesting. Though it will be a challenge and I am sure that I will fit in and enjoy the life. Service life is a bit of a tradition in my family, my father and brother served in the army, but I really fancy the navy.
Yes but put it in your own words. Have a practice with someone before your interview.
Just one more thing:
Your English language also needs working on!
