I have a preliminary interview for the radio officer position based in Ballygirreen next week.
I've done a lot of preparation so I feel I've covered a lot of topics but if anybody who has been through a similar process recently has any tips or is based down there and has any info that would be useful I'd really appreciate it.
I've heard conflicting reports on shift patterns, can anybody confirm the shift pattern?
The recruitment process spec sheet says the preliminary interview "is designed to determine which applicants have the basic aptitude and motivation to successfully complete the Aeronautical Radio Officer Training Programme and qualify as Aeronautical Radio Officers".
Does this mean there will be further aptitude tests given during the preliminary interview? Ie will they throw maths questions at me?
The position itself seems extremely interesting, communicating with flying machines across much of the North Atlantic and working with such interesting technology in doing so is way beyond cool. I feel I'd be well suited the the type of work and at this stage of my life completely motivated towards something that has long term security, not to mention the job itself. I also have no problem with the shift element or relocating, in fact I'd welcome it! So I feel I can tick alot of boxes except for my level of interest in general aviation. I have a basic interest in aviation but I cannot say hand on heart that I'm obsessed with it or even have a great knowledge of it outside of pop knowledge stuff. Will this be a problem? I'm not sure if they want aviation fanatics or not, although as I've said the job itself is really interesting.
Thanks.
