Title: Recruitment 2017
Post by: phoenix on January 05, 2017, 06:12:43 PM
Happy New Year folks!

I trust you had some sort of break over Christmas and into this New Year. As previously mentioned, I said I would start up a fresh topic for 2017 - so here it is!
Having said that, I would like to state a few things:

Now, there has been no word or anything regarding a 2017 intake. However, it's still worth discussing. Forewarned is forearmed, is it not?

If anyone wants to catch up, chat, workout, or whatever - to prepare for the SAMFS, then this is the place to ask and organise. I would definitely put my hand up for all of those options - so flick me a message.

Finally to all those who are going through the current drive - I wish you all the best!

- Phoenix

I missed out on the last recruitment drive and am trying to do everything I can to prepare myself and get ready for next time (whenever that may be).

I stumbled across this website firerecruitmentaustralia.com.au on google the other day. Does anyone have any experience with this website? is it worth looking into?

It's a fair bit of money they're asking for and anyone can make up a testimonial for a website so I wondered whether anyone here had any positive or negative dealings with them?

I heard some noise the 4th drill squad will finish early next year and recruitment shortly after. Just what I heard - would be interested to see if anyone can confirm...

I’ve heard 4th squad starts January. Given a new application process takes several months I’d guess applications would open in next couple of months. That’s the rumour anyway.

I had a DUI 7 years ago and it says that "Serious traffic offences within the past 10 years will be considered grounds for a 10 year disqualification from consideration as a potential employee from date of offence."
Does this mean that you are automatically disqualified and not be considered at all? Does anyone know?

I'm pretty sure I read that 1 DUI won't exclude you but if you were to have 2 DUI in the 10 year period you wouldn't be considered.

Ive heard of a few blokes getting through with DUI charges. Not sure how severe or recent though. Everyone makes mistakes right?

Thank you both, that's a bit of a relief to know that, do you send your Driving Record in with the Application first?

Afternoon all,
Interested if anyone has heard any rumours about up coming recruit courses, or even more interested if anyone’s heard anything about the possibility of Lateral transfers this year, cheers
