I got mine yesterday. Still a little Can't wait and counting down the days! Congrats
When are you booked in for? I'm booked info this Wednesday morning. Are you before or after that? Also, what are you doing to prep?
Congratulations. When are you booked in for? I've got mine on Wednesday (26th) first thing in the morning. Also, what are you doing to prep?
I had my interview on the 20th. It went okay, not great but not absolutely horribly, although I am less confident now than I had been the previous few months waiting for the interview.
Also, what was really disappointing for me was that the interviewer said that because of contract negotiations, there are no VFR courses planned for the forseeable future (maybe not even for the 18 months that our applications remain active). Can you help confirm this at your interview? Also a confirmation on the dates for the next FSS/IFR classes would be much appreciated.wanderlust_xx wrote: ↑Tue Nov 27, 2018 10:22 pm yah I think she said end of the week or early next week whether I passed or not.
Not sure when/if stream will be assigned at the same time. I think stream is assigned late?
Lisa, any input on that?
Honestly, they were very nice...
They will ask you to talk about yourself.
what stream you would like and why
5-6 behavioural questions "describe a time when"
and basic knowledge about the company
after they talked about the upcoming courses, general info, and asked if I had any questions for them.
it was pretty straight forward!
good luck and let us know how it goes!!!
I'm currently waiting got the next in-person assessment in YVR. Your comment above doesn't sound very promising for any responses soon. I'm interested in FSS and VFR. I guess it's a little frustrating when your interview is quite a few months after the assessment, as compared to other regions where it seems to be a couple weeks after.Also, what was really disappointing for me was that the interviewer said that because of contract negotiations, there are no VFR courses planned for the forseeable future (maybe not even for the 18 months that our applications remain active).

Did my interview today and I feel pretty good about it. Of course there were a couple things I realized I should have said that I thought about after I left but that always happens. And I struggled to come up with a good scenario for one of the questions but overall I think I did pretty well. However just due to my prior work as an independent consultant, I've done a ton of interviewing so I'm fairly confident in those settings.hopefulguy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 5:16 pm

From what I remember, there's a 4-person FSS planned in october, and another one sometime early next year, and an IFR class in april.

I actually really like the prospect of a grade 3 or lower tower, because it seems to be the perfect balance between stress, flexibility and salary. Plus most of the towers are in lower mainland, which is awesome. The only one I was iffy about is prince george, but I just went there during tree planting last month, and it was a beautiful little city and the prices were super dirt cheap. I probably won't even want to move to a bigger tower even given the opportunity.
It sucks now that we can't see our streams like before, cuz if I was streamed FSS then there's no need to even consider waiting for a VFR spot, but if I was streamed IFR, I really might want to wait it out and take a chance. Can always take a course if it's getting close to the deadline (assuming we get offered one...)
Which made me realize I actually have a question. How does the 18 month work exactly? Is it from our interview date or from the date we receive a red light or green light? Or is it from some other date? And Let's say our 18 months ends in January 2021, but offers for the April 2021 IFR course went out in december 2020. Do we still have a chance for a seat in that class? Or is that outside of the 18 months limit? Basically, is the limit on the course start date or the course offer date?
When I did my interview Blair told me that I should expect to get results by late July. Last I checked, however, my status still says Interview and I’ve received no email indicating a change in status. Hopefully results (positive ones) will come any day now.Maverick18 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 11:52 am I don't recall when they said we would know interview results. Does anyone know the timeline? The suspense is killing me.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat - no email & status still says interview. Hoping to get good news soon. Best of luck!
Ugh, I've been checking myworkplace and here literally daily hoping to see an update. I was excited to see there was activity here, only to be to find out everyone is still in the same spot as I.Maverick18 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 10:04 pmYeah, I'm in the same boat - no email & status still says interview.

Haven't heard anything since I interviewed in late June, but my status was updated to 'Eligible for Offer' at the beginning of September.
