Can anybody tell me what they look for in a recruit ?? What sort of person get in it seems so hard ?? I just missed out I can't pass the written stuff

and now that my spelling is corrected for all u critics cans somebody answer my question??

Gday 6arevesdropper,

Did you get to do the physical?

I've found the whole process pretty demanding and have spent most of my free time researching and training, going to all the info sesions ect, also went to a stn a few times and spoke to the guys and did a few drills before the physical testing.

Prior to the aptitude testing i did hundreds of practice tests regarding mechanical, spatial stuff etc- i think this paid off.

Also, once at the interview they were very specific about addressing the selection criteria listed in the application package.

My main advice would be, be yourself and if you get to the physical testing next time ensure you are really fit- not just strong, but aerobically fit. about 40% of all applicants failed the physical!

Good luck next time
