What happened to personality tests being valid for 12 months only?

Got the same email. I find it strange that some people have been given beep test invites if they are still processing large amounts of data from personality/abilities tests. How can there be a ranking if not all results have been processed???
Strange!!

Has anyone received a beep test date other than Tuesday? Is it possible that only the Tuesday emails went out today? Holding onto some hope here.

Out of the 70 that were interviewed, how many after the 2 drill squads would be cab ranked for a possible 3rd? I heard a few failed  pat 2 and some may not have interviewed that well.

I spoke to HR yesterday. There are 400 in the "keep fit" pool and have NOT been ranked in any order. The 70 doing an interview were judged to be the most suited for the role based on the psych test. If they need more they will call on the next most suited ones in the pool so keep an eye on your emails but don't put your life on hold.

Good luck guys. Great effort to make the top 70 from 1300 applicants. Keep us posted on how you go with the interview.

Probably but I hope not. It sounds like they are trying to reduce their work load by interviewing a smaller number. Id say the drill squads will be filled from the 70 but I hope I'm wrong.

Mara no longer works there I was told. Ask for Andrew. He told me the 70 doing an interview were notified last friday

So July has come along now and the rumour mill has gone a bit quiet!!
Has anyone heard of any firmer dates to when they might start the next recruitment??

I hope this is true, It makes sense that it would be a large intake, They haven't done one for a couple of years now.

Yeap!! it's actually gone up to over 5K now which is crazy!! I was recommended to do it by a mate who is in the MFS. Might sound crazy to some but i'm pretty keen to get in so if this helps in some way then ill say it was worth it. Heaps of people in the MFB and CFA do it.

How did you find PATS? Worth $3500?

I Got a pre Christmas deal and paid $1990. I would'nt pay full price for it. The course wasn't really what i expected so i was a little disappointed. Time will tell if it was worth while i guess!!

If they say monitor the website from July, you would think they were possibly planning a recruitment later in the year. I hope so anyway!!

I have a question regarding the required first aid certificate. The MFS website clearly states that it must contain the code HLTFA301B code which i had but has now expired. When looking to book to update it, the code is now HLTFA311A and they claim that it supersedes the other one. I have tried to ask the MFS but cant get a response. Does anyone know if they will accept this code and maybe they just need to update the website?? Id hate to turn up to the testing and they tell me they wont accept it!! Cheers.

Any word on a possible intake this year?? As usual i have heard rumours that there could be one early this year.

ive heard March but just a rumour. Just make sure you have yourself ready with license etc for when they call.

Just need to update my first aid and im good to go. Will be my second attempt so hopefully better luck this time.
