Hi All,
I recently took the CFAT at the Edmonton recruiting office and had my "one on one" interview. Everything seemed to go well. I have my medical scheduled in the next week.
I assume that I did well enough on the CFAT, I was not told how I did, but rather it was explained that the results are used to determine a best fit for the trades. I assume that if you do poorly you do not make the interview?
I understand that I am not allowed to discuss the content of the interview or the CFAT and also the medical however I will say that the test was remarkably hard. Some aspects I understood without difficulty but some really floored me. I do not know how you could study for this test but I certainly would revisit your High school books and possibly start hanging out with smarter friends! I wish that the score of the test would have been made known to me. Here is a tip to future applicants;dress well, clean up and ditch your Mettalica t shirt.if you are taking the test in the morning get a good nights sleep and eat breakfast!! prepare yourself for the test this way as I still do not know how you could study for this type of test. As for the interview always remember that this is a serious interview. Treat the interviewer with respect as they are ultimately the human element in the application process. If you do well in the interview I am sure that this is what really matters. If you come looking to join dressed like a slob with a bad attitude what employer would hire you? One of the applicants that showed up was dressed in a suit. I certainly think that this fellow made it to the interview.
Just my two cents and I hope to receive an offer letter.
