my name is Michael Cavanagh and i just now found out about this forum so i haddd make a new topic about my
HORRIFIC application experience. i have only been on the forum for about 15 minutes crusin around and my heart
has dropped. i can not understand how so many applicants have been so lucky as far as frequency of contact !
my mind is BLOWN !
***WARNING: LONG READ ! CLIFF NOTES AT THE BOTTOM !
-i am applying to montreal application center
these are my order of desired trades:
-vehicle technitian 1st
-construction technitian 2nd
-weapons technitian 3rd
well let me start off by saying that my first date of application was somewhere close to August 2010 . i was told i would be contacted in 4-6 weeks. 6 weeks went by and no call so i call and try to see whats up. i call and call and call and talk to many people and they all tell me i have to wait 4-6 weeks (even after telling them ive waited 6 already since date applied) i called a few more times throughout a week or so to see if someone else would tell me something else.. i have no luck and many months go by. i call again somewhere near december. they say they dont have my file anymore and ill have to re-apply..but to not bother re-applying untill april 1st 2011. at this point im pretty un happy but i knew applying is a big process so wtv. april first 2011 comes and i apply again and go to montreal to give it in personally and have it checked/approved by a recruiter. they say we will call you in 4-6 weeks. the same process happens again as stated the first time. except i have been waiting over half a year so this time i call more frequently and do my best to not accept " we will call you in 4-6 weeks"... again many months go by and noone had ever contacted me. every month or so i call to see whats going on and i get nothing but vtec position has no openings and i dont know when there will be any (atleast 3 different people tell me this ). finally someone tells me vtec position will only have opening april 1st 2012.... again i try to see if someONE else will tell me someTHING else with a few extra phone calls. so im out of luck untill april 1st 2012. so this year rolls around and i go in to re-apply AGAIN and have a recruiter check to make sure if application is good etc. May 3rd i get a phone call from montreal recruitment center ! they tell me my CFAT date is may 24! im extatic at this point. i wrote the test and it went well. they told us that we will be contacted in 2-3 weeks. i wait untill exactly 3 weeks go by and i call them. i tell my recruitment officer hey its been 3 weeks , is there any news on my file? tells me i have to wait 4-6 more weeks because the volume of applications is high and the amount of people reviewing them is low.
*****CLIFF NOTES ! : applied 2 years ago. recieved a phone call THIS year to setup date for CFAT. i wrote the test and i am waiting for a return call. i call them after 3 weeks. they say wait 4-6 MORE weeks..... am i going to get a phone call ever ? is completeting the CFAT a sure shot sign to know if they are actually reviewing my file this time?
i feel like im on the right road since i have infact completed one of the few "steps" in the application process. but i cant help but feel that : "someone will call you in 4-6 weeks" is the go-to slogan used to get applicants to stop "pestering" recruiters..
IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND I HAVE ONLY WRITTEN THE APPTITUDE TEST....
so can someone please give me some hope and tell me that they WILL INFACT call me back and we can setup the next date for this application process ?!?!? is writing the CFAT a sure shot way of knowing i will actually be contacted for further steps?!?!
thank you
