I have my ATCO interview tomorrow!!

[left outer, right inner]

Any useful final tips for preparation anyone? I think I am reasonably prepared, and have a fighting chance I guess!. .. .If i get it, no doubt I will be joining you fine area controllers in the sunny south <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .Cheers. .. .LORI

Area? No chance.. .You know you'll be dragged back to the mecca that is Hounslow. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .Good luck mate.

Try and appear relaxed even though you are sh*****g it inside <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .Remember they're not looking for God-like perfection. And they're not looking for the completed article. . .. .Just someone with heaps of potential, knowledge and aptitude, someone who can work in a team and a person with the "correct" motivation for wanting to become an ATCO.. .. .Just be yourself, be truthful, stick to your thoughts and ideas backed up by your knowledge, be interested and finally, be happy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

Good luck with the interview. As others have said, just be yourself and be confident. If they ask questions and then "move the goalposts" don't be afraid to change your mind if it is appropriate. Part of an ATCO's life is responding to changed circumstances with accuracy and confidence.. .. .Keep us posted as to how you get on.. .. .NN

Hello guys and gals. .. .Well the big day has been and gone, and so there is no more that can be done. Thanx for all the encouragment and support <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .The day went well generally speaking. The computer tests were quite horrible <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> but both interviews seemed to go reasonably well. It is simply down to waiting now obviously. If there are any prospective ATCO's out there who want a run down of the proceedings according to LORI, I will be posting a reasonably detailed account of my experience that will hopefully help others.. .. .It has to be said that the beers tasted very very nice after all that tho <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .Thanks again all, . .. .A hopeful LORI. .. .Edited due to the effect of beer <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 04 March 2002, 23:21: Message edited by: left outer, right inner ]</small>
