Basic Maths, Tech knowledge, hand eye coordination, personality profiling..leadership potential, group work through the interview stage.......relatively basic stuff guys. get some books on phsycometric testing but to be fair it's about a million times easier than the Q cadetship interviews. forget cubes and shapes like the old boys did....and that was when they were able to cut the little cubes out of paper and make them up! not so easy now, you'd have to turn the computer screen upside down and then fold it 6 times!
dont be a hero in the group work. they want to see you can work as an efective "cog" in the team but step up to be the main "cog" when needed. If you try to railroad the exercise you'll be out quicker than a thread regarding the J cadetship!
my question is this....how and when do you get off the junior FO wage and onto the normal FO wage...I dont want to be paying off 150K on 50K a year with 7 kids!
