First hand experience Mentor Hat on
OK, here goes:
Nothing against anyone, and I'm NOT directing this in particular at the OP, but can you IMAGINE how many times I hear how badly someone wants a job because they want to serve their country, they feel it's a noble profession, they believe in God and Queen and Country, blah blah blah ...
Fact of the matter, I WANT to help you, but I could really care less if you-in-particular have a job. You want the job? You want a career? PROVE it. At least TRY to earn it. Make me notice that you're different than the dozens of others that want to be an Officer in the CF. We're not currently hiring Infantry Officers, Armoured Officers or any other Combat Arms ... and really, I get hundreds of people coming to the RC to apply who have degrees in Economics, Poli Sci, Business, Int'l Relations etc etc ... so if you open with ANY of that, you're not going to get 100% of my attention (though I try, I REALLY do try...)
Now, as Nostix said ... if you come in prepared ... with a list of specific questions, with some research completed so that we can at least have an intelligent conversation, and I know you're actually serious ... I'll take the time to help you figure out how to get where you want to go OR advise you on some alternatives to your plan.
Like a parent with their fourth child ... we've heard it all and you're not fooling anybody ... do your homework and I'll help with the parts you honestly need help with.
