G'day all,
Wondered if anyone could possibly give me some insight into the process which is applied to applicants who have passed FSP and are waiting in "the pool", specifically in regards to how they are chosen to receive enlistment offers.
My understanding was that you are awarded a score after the OSB which reflects your performance throughout all aspects of the recruitment process and that this score dictates where you ended up swimming in the pool. When offers come up, the applicants with the best scores are simply called first.
However, I recently heard a different theory... That you are awarded a score, and then this score is multiplied by your submitted preference for a particular service, and that there are actually three separate pools (Army/Navy/RAAF).
Meaning that had you not performed as well as another candidate but had a higher preference than them for a particular service, you might still have a better chance than them at getting an offer for that particular service.
Anyone able to confirm or deny this at all?
Thanks for any help, and best of luck with your applications.
