Has any one found out about interviews yet ?

I believe some got unsuccessful emails today

I did hear from a mate that he got an unsuccessful email early in the week.

No real tips for testing, but when you get to the physical make sure you can touch your toes -sit and reach....I got through everything but that, and by not being able to touch toes or go past it was bye bye...try again next year...so get stretching 

So I did the testing today and it was actually hard at some points. I'm not sure if I was a top scorer or not, does anyone know if it's a pass/fail score or if it's say the top 100 move on to the next stage?

As for the sit and reach I have been stretching heaps and can now comfortably touch my toes when in a seated position and I'm pretty sure that's all that's needed.

It's hard to tell from these sort of tests mate as they are designed to stress you and push your brain limits. You will have to pass a certain mark but they will also take the top what ever number they need through to the next test.
All the best

There is nothing to stop you but they do test you again at the station later in the process. I also would assume that they would compare your interview results to your answers to the online testing.

Yeah mate all is sorted out. Look under the frequently asked questions bit and it has it there.

I would put as much as you can for each process and not think it is only a beep test or a resume etc because they look at everything you do and how you conduct yourself. You don't want to get to the end and miss out by one or two spots and think I should have put more effort in somewhere. Just my opinion anyway. They might even be watching this forum!!!!
Good luck to all when it finally happens.

Good luck for tomorrow guys and girls.

If that's the case at least I have a good 40 years of trying to get in. If I haven't got in by then I might just have to give up.

Maybe it has.... Truck, Johnny, Ferret or Mr T can you shed any light on it?

There are 3 or 4 having to re do respiratory medicals, and the 'can you do Pirie or Mt Gambier' ph calls have happened this week too.  'They' are saying letters of offer this week

MrT

Are you aware if extra people have been put through the pat2 just in case then?

Truck/Johnny have they been in contact with your referees yet?

Good luck for the pat2 this week Johnny and Truck keep us posted.

Hi all, I was one of the candidates that came out of the last interview stage with one of the "Stay Fit" letters. I've been following this forum and have read that some people who initially received "Stay Fit" letters have since been called up for the next round of tests. I unfortunately didn't receive a call up but was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on where to go from here. Is it likely that there will be another calling from this group, or is it more likely that the standard application process will begin again? Having said that though I still haven't received any further notification yet to say that my application is no longer valid. Cheers

Hi td, I'm in the same boat mate in waiting to see if there will be a third course. It's been mentioned on here a few times before and it's easier said than done but don't put your life on hold waiting but stay fit just in case. Having said that I have heard rumors from firies at different ranks and I would take it with a pinch of salt that they might not do another recruitment drive until next year. Also this second recruit course will get the service just above the line they like to keep so it will depend on how many retire from now to July if they need a third course. I stress this is just rumors and someone else on this forum may be able to help you out some more but good luck for the future.

Has anyone heard any rumors if applications will open early next year again or will they have a year off?
