I walked out this year and thought it would be my year. Best interview i have had to date. No feedback as yet. Starts monday next week i believe. Feed back in past has been very generic, i tink almost everyone i have spoken to has had almost identical feedback. Look forward to what they have to say this year. Just cant believe that i didnt at least make the standby group... Well i am 42 this year, my business starts to suffer every time i apply as i try not to overload my work in case i get accepted, if they dont see me ever getting in i wish they would just tell me straight up. Wait and see i guess.

Has been very quiet. Be a shame for anyone to fail the Pat2 especially if they are involved on here, i will agree that it did seem easy to complete the pat2, i went round in about 22 minutes from memory, nearly let the rope slip in the equipment haul, had to sit and think for a minute in the tunnel crawl as the life line was untied just after the small ladder. Just kept it together and said to myself that i only had one chance and not to let it go !! Just want to get back and do it again

Definately two types of letter. One asking you to maintain fitness the other saying you have been unsuccessful and please try again. Also gives details of how to obtain interview feedback

The questions are always different, same types of questions but always worded differently enough to throw you. The interview panels have always been different people as well. I will continue to apply until they take me or tell me not to apply again !!!

As the web site clearly states, feedback will only be given to those people who were not successful during the interview process. Read the web site guys and girls, its written for a reason.

according to web site all country postings are for five years now. Still, five years of knowing where you are going every tour is not a bad thing. Stability!!

i have been cab ranked before and i have been interviewed every time. The process changes slightly every time so any information i could give you could be completely wrong. i know i am not far from getting ranked again, just need to impress them a bit more at the interview i guess. You are only ranked based on the outcome of your interview supposedly so study up for it as you would your apptitude test

as for the persistance thing, i will let you know if it pays off if i get in after attempt number five. Dont be too down on yourself if you dont get in, not a very high percentage of people get in first crack

Similar feed back to mine, almost seemed to be a bit generic. Keep trying and we will get in eventually

Hey USAR, did you take them up on the feed back after your interview? What did they tell you, purely for interest sake of course. I have had the same feed back two years running.....
