If it is like all the previous versions of recruiting:samuelsow wrote:Hi there
i received a pass ! for the Montreal selection tests but the message i saw in the dashboard is a bit ambiguous because they just said that i may or may not be called by A navcanada interviewer later on .
My two questions are : who knows what is next in the process ? and if i do not receive a call does it mean that i failed and will have to wait for a year before being able to apply again ?
All the best for this year 2009 to the ATCOS and ATC wannabes
Are you talking about the written assessments or the phone interview?invertedattitude wrote:Can some people give some more details on the sections? Not looking for answers, but break down what each section was about... there's a lot of vague details on here.
Obviously this is a lot different than the exam I wrote getting in, give up some details on what the test is about guys.
The testing was a few months ago for me so I'll try and give you any details i can remember.invertedattitude wrote:The written assessments, someone doing a write-up about what each section of the exam contains, I don't mean the answers, but what do they ask you? There's vague answers on here, but a decent short write-up about what's on the exam would be interesting to hear.
Thanks for the info, I'm a qualified controller myself, this info is for other people who will be applying behind you, and also interested in seeing how it has changed since I went through.buggy_boy wrote:The testing was a few months ago for me so I'll try and give you any details i can remember.invertedattitude wrote:The written assessments, someone doing a write-up about what each section of the exam contains, I don't mean the answers, but what do they ask you?

There were several sections and each section was timed. The first was a general knowledge type of thing very similar to the online tests you had to do when you first applied (only more questions and a little bit more time).
Most of the other sections dealt with matching patterns, constructing shapes, a "what's wrong with this picture" etc etc. There was also an oral portion where they played a 5 minute recording, you have to take notes, and then answer questions about it. Knowing what types of questions there are really won't help you because I honestly don't think you can study for a test like this. Just be well rested and don't stress out a about it.
I wouldn't think that would matter since they are "studying" right now reducing FSS numbers by 25%, and there are no FSS courses planned for a year or two (or more).PartsPilot wrote:Regection letter this morning for First interview. Confused as I thought I did well and even got many "good answer" responses, Also lot of good pilot experience. The only thing I can think of is that I said I would not be interested in the flight service route. :/
So I guess my advise would be , dont say that.
Good luck..
Ummmmm...did you read this thread? Or this one? viewtopic.php?f=68&t=45964Hooj wrote:When it comes to SHL, last i heard Nav Can isn't renewing there contract and is going to select new recruits them selves.
I don't think cross training will be tower only. Some who cross train, if that ever actually happens, may well go to the ACC world. Plus none of the cross training would likely start immediately. They're only at stage one of "studying" things. I'd guess 6-12 months at least before you'd actually see a reduction in hours/closures.Hooj wrote:also i don't think there will be a training course for VFR for a little bit due the fss situation. With the 5 selections FSS employees got i've heard that cross training is the most popular after the money. So i'm assuming there is going to be an influx of cross training this year. aka limiting new recruits
