So today I applied for the ADF as an General Service Officer.
I have a YOU session on the 12th of October and was just wondering what some tips are, What I should expect and so forth..
I know to where a suit to the YOU session and to know alot about the ADF's History.. Is there anything else..
EDIT: Also, What would be helpful to take into the interview, apart from Drivers license and birth certificate..
Any info would be a great help..

Thanks, Josh

Its pretty easy, just remember the timing for the IQ/aptitude test. Work out the time per mark and if you dont get it, move on..........Thats what I stuffed up and I am going back for later...

 

[for those about to rock]

Your YOU session will be the easy part. Officer Selection Board is where you really have to perform and will be greatly scrutinised.

What do you mean time per mark?

 

[Jimass]

Have a time limit for each question I think he means?

What do you mean time per mark?

Whats the average amount of time you have for each question.
E.g. a 30 question test that runs for 1 hour has a time per mark ration of 1 question to 2 minutes.

get it?

Don't worry about the aptitude test, it's easy.
As said the Selection board is where they get you. Just don't stress out about it, chill out and be yourself. Think about your answers before you talk, otherwise they'll start bombarding you, don't talk shit either. Remember you're going for officer entry, chances are one day you'll have peoples lives in your hands..

Is this 'YOU' thing any different to a JOES Day?

I think its the same thing, different name.

And to Josh, the aptitude test is pretty easy, but time is the big issue. They say that the test is designed so that people wont managed to finish.

Smart casual, clean shaven, short haircut, and the patience to sit for ages. They won't expect you to address them as Sir/Ma'am/whatever-rank nor will you be yelled at as yet, so don't frigid.

Good luck. (spanners FTW)
