Sorry for resurrecting an old topic but I didn't want to start a new one and create a garbage thread.
I tried the recruiting centre all day yesterday (no answer), I kid you not I tried once every hour. I woke up really early this morning, half an hour before the recruiting centre opened...phoned them half an hour after opening time because it's understandable that they may have things to do right away and they're very busy. So I tried an hour after opening.....no answer. I'm probably going to get some long speech about this post, but it's just me expressing my concern like many other people on these forums do. I've been on these forums for a while now. I have come across many, many threads about how the recruiting centre is this and that...or "lolz teech me to be a ninja" threads...I know the tone and mood of these forums and I don't expect any answer to this post really. I guess it just feels better to think out loud and let it out of your system.
I got lucky the first time when I was done all my testing and left for BMQ all in one month. Now that I'm re-applying it seems like things aren't going as smoothly. For one, the recruiting centre either lost my 'last five years of residence' paper or it some unstapled itself from the rest of my papers and got lost at the post office. Now wait a minute, why do you think I believe the recruiting centre misplaced it? Well, for one I drove around to the houses I've lived in previously over the course of five years...I did not know the addresses but I knew how to get to them from memory. I drove around for nearly 2 hours writing down every address (the last five years of residence paper was still stapled to the rest of my package)...I check it all over, make sure everything is filled out properly. I send it away.
A week later I get a call telling me to come in to do my interview and medical; don't have to do aptitude test or anything again because my previous test scores were still good. I complete my interview and medical and go home. A few days later I get a call saying that I did not send in my 'last five years of residence' sheet...I tell the recruiter I did because I drove around 2 hours that day and did not detach it from the rest of the package. I was told they did not have it so I would have to fill out another one and send it in. That's all fine and dandy. I receive it a few days later, fill it out...send it in.
But now I read somewhere in this forum that 'applications which aren't filled out properly or aren't perfect' get thrown under a 'waiting list' pile for re-evaluation or something?
I wouldn't have worried so much about that piece of paper that was 'misplaced' if I wouldn't have read that thread all about the applications that get thrown into another waiting list.
So, I'm going to keep trying the recruiting centre and keep the faith because I know they are very busy and I understand.
Thanks for reading this rant
