No need to spend lots of money on psychometric practice. Doing a handful of the free ones is more than sufficient. You can even do the same question a few times of there's time between attempts.
The only money I spent was $500 on interview prep and $400 on sim practice. Whilst the was interview prep was expensive I just knew that I needed it. I don't agree with it... but my hand was forced because telling stories about myself was something that did not come naturally to me.

This is for your own good, you'll thank me one day. Repeat this phrase until you hear it in your sleep: 'There I was...nothing on the clocks but the makers name....'

And you are a ...pilot..?? Ever been to a bar? Seen an aircraft carrier around here? If what you say is really true, that sort of behaviour must stop immediately or you'll be that lonely one in the corner with RDeC everyone talks about!!

And for the record it was an aircraft carrier that first brought me to this country almost two decades ago!

Hi everyone, I am an external applicant on the hold file for the SO QF position. Does anyone in a similar situation have any idea how long we could possibly be on hold for? Its literally doing my head in every single day waiting for a start date. Do you think its possible that you could be on the hold file and never get a start date?

The waiting game is no fun at all. The best advice I can give is to ensure that your keep the recruiters up-to-date with your situation. Make sure that they know if your circumstances change (i.e. a period of unavailability coming up, you've been offered an upgrade but taking it will subject you to a bond etc). Just start an email dialogue.

I can understand your frustration but be happy that you are on the hold.....some of us didn't get that far. From what I'm told the HR cogs turn slowly at QF. With a ground school every month till December i'm sure you won't be waiting as long as some of us have on previous holds over the years.
Well done. Good Luck.

I was on hold for 15 Months way back, I doubt if things have changed, lots of recruiting coming up.
A lot of the internals have been told there wont be a start date until next year. Although I suspect that's because of the crewing requirements of the relevant group company.

Plenty of cadets did back in September I think. Several who apparently had passed all the benchmarks (based on the feedback they received) got knocked back for trivial things at the executive review stage.

Yes but it could be used to identify people, potentially damaging their careers more than QF already has. If you know any of the cadets/internals who've been knocked back ask them about their feedback and you'll quickly see what I mean.

Alleged breaches of QF policy probably aren't viewed as trivial at the executive review stage. Not saying that this is specific to the Sept mob you mentioned.
