    First off, its the Air CORPS.

    I know its a small detail, but if you intend working there, at least get the name right.

    Thanks goldie fish, that was an error on my part.
    So any tips on the actual interview, or do you just go around poking holes??

    Yes.
    Be careful what you say on internet message boards, especially if your surname and initials make up your username.
    The interview board have the internet too.

    In fairness you probably would.

    Any job interview requires you have an understanding of what the company and job entails, the name would be pretty important to get right tbf.

    I have won the "Most Popular Employee" 3 years in a row.
    He can take the advice, or he can apply to the air corp.
    If you were applying for a job at Intel, would you put Intal on the form and still expect to get an interview?

    GF is correct. If you cannot get basic grammar and capital letters correct, how do you expect to pass an interview to firstly become an Officer in the Defence Forces and secondly become a pilot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭Irish_Army01


    What YOU need to do is research the job spec., from the aircraft down to the rank structure and who is in charge. Being able to call the interview board by their rank is a big up,(Sir/Ma'm/Sergeant) especially if you have no military background.

    I'm not going to post links because you'll learn more if you do the research yourself. No one here will be in the room with you.


    I would have a knowledge on the political system too and big stories in the papers.


    Sit up straight, placing your hands on your knees.


    The rest is up to you.
