One thing that I think would speed it up greatly is to do your
aptitude test, fitness test, medical, and interview on the same day.
Sure it would take awhile but at least you wouldn‘t have to make 4
seperate trips to the recruiting centre.

Hi Rob... I too have been in the recruitment process since Oct2000.
My prospective CO has asked me for some feedback specifically about the
holdups and delays. Have you any specific ideas or suggestions that
could or could have speed up your recruitment process? I will pass on
these ideas to him. I have one already. Howabout a checklist that every
recruit gets so they know what all the steps are. The recruit can also
book medical appts in advance for instance. Meanwhile..."Hurry up and
wait!"

Subject: Recruiting Problems
My ongoing experience with the recruiting process may shed some
light as to
why the CF is having difficulties. I began the process in
mid-October 2000.
To this point I have still not been sworn in with the unit I have
applied to
NOTE: I am applying as PRes 26 Svc. Btn. Now I realize this is not
just
one persons fault at either the recruiting centre or at the Unit. It
seems
to be a problem with the system, and from what I have heard from
members of
the Unit I am applying to is that a fair number of applicants just
get tired
of waiting and move on to other things, I guess not everyone wants
it that
badly.
As far as attracting new members the recruiting booths should look
into
using some of the documentary programs made by the Discovery Channel
about
CF Operations overseas whether it be peacekeeping in Bosnia or
de-mining
activities. The earlier suggestions about emphasizing the
"humanitarin"
operations, Flooding in Manitoba, Ice Storm, pavement/sidewalk
hunting in
Toronto‘s snowstorm sorry I‘m from Northern Ontario couldn‘t
resist.
