Have any of you guys been asked to sign anything yet?
No I haven't. I stopped by the CFRC today asked what the next step was. First, I apparently need to redo my fitness test. :
..fine ..whatever. But I was also told that my file was on it's way back to Borden to see if an offer was to be issued to me ..apparently it's not a done deal. Although the phone mesage I received indicated it was:
(the following is verbatim from my voicemail)
"...The aim of this call is to advise you that you have been selected for ..infantry as an officer. I would like to have acknowledgement from you within 24 hours to know if you are still interested, and then we can have an offer issued for you."
The fellow who left the voicemail for me called on Friday the 7th. When I returned his call at 12pm noon, he had already gone for the weekend. I left a voicemail. No call back. I called the switchboard that same day to indicate I was still interested. She said she marked my file as such. Fine. I called on Monday and was told (by the Leading Seaman who called me) that I have the job.
I called again gain on Wednesday just to ask what the next step is (was too giddy Monday to think to ask ;D) only to find that the LS was out of the office. OK. Anyway, so far so good right? I have a call indicating that if I want the job I can have a shot at it.
I dropped in today however and (although the LS who called me was out again today) I was told
this time that my job offer was not in fact in the bag. Rather - having established that I am still interested in the job - my file needs to be sent back to Borden to be compared against the other applicants ..and that perhaps a job offer would be made.
..I was told that I wouldn't know for sure (that is.. have paper to sign) any sooner than 2-4 weeks.
..Oh and just for a kicker my file was still there. It was laid out in front of me. I saw paper I hadn't seen in a year. The fellow I spoke to told me he would put it on the LS's desk so that he would be sure to attend to it Monday.. That is if he is in...
ugh. :
