SAMFS Recruitment 2018

[Left foot snap]

Squad 54 started two weeks ago. Have heard any other squads have been put on hold until the next promotions process is completed and more retirements occur. Up 10-12 firies on all shifts with another 24 from the current squad coming online in May. A liberal government won't let the MFS hold onto any more surplus firies.

Thanks Left Foot Snap you're a wealth of inside information!

[XHAGGY]

Anyone know where things are at these days? When does the next squad start or when they are interviewing next?
Thanks

Keep a look out if you got the "Stay fit" letter.
I haven't received anything yet, but my friend just received an email saying they are no longer in the "Stay fit" pool.

[Cobra1]

I got a letter saying my application is not progressing today too. At the very least I can stop putting alternatives on hold now!

Are you allowed to reapply when (if) they reopen applications mid this year as previously advised they would?

[Gpats]

I too got an email saying my application will not be progressed, they specifically state this result remains valid for 2 years and will expire in July 2020 at which time I can reapply again.

So even if they do reopen applications this year those of us receiving this email are ineligible to reapply.

[Lukeyv]

Sorry to hear guys.
I'm in the 'stay fit' pool and still haven't received anything.
Not sure if that's a good thing or not!

Or they have forgotten about us?

[canine]

You may be in numbers for 3rd squad depending on how many suitable applicants they get in July......

[Optimistic]

Yea im in the same boat too, hopefully we might get a chance. Canine, do you mean that they might be recruiting again in July? I wasnt sure if that was confirmed.

[canine]

Just some Goss I heard but only for people who didn't apply last time.

[CFS_fire32]

Any idea how many are left in the "keep fit" pool?

[CFS_fire32]

Is there a 2nd squad scheduled to start after the completion of the 1st squad, which should be finishing in early May?

Yeah mid May. I think they have been notified

[Optimistic]

Congrats to the first squad. Second squad must be starting soon. Has anyone been notified for the 3rd or are they going to start PAT1's again? Any rumours? How many are in the keep fit still?

[Lukeyv]

Second recruit course will be kicking off next week from what I hear.
Good luck to all the crew in that!

I am still in the 'Stay Fit' pool. Fingers are still very crossed!

Apparently the recent cull of the "keep fit" pool was quite significant, but not sure how many people before or still left after the cull?

[FF GAZZ]

Friday's media announcement on the MFS website states they are looking to recruit again in the second half of the year.

Rumour is only for applicants who didn't apply last time.

I got an email today for an interview in a few weeks. Anyone else heard anything?

Have you already done your PAT1?

[TE]

Yea I was in the keep fit pool of people that did the pat1 before Christmas. The email came through about 4pm yesterday so keep an eye out and good luck!

Thats cool mate. I hope whoever is left in the running gets a good crack at it before the next recruitment drive. When you did your PAT1 did it stop at 9.6 or did it keep playing?

Has anyone else got interviews?

[CFS_fire32]

PAT 1 stops at 9.6.

Assume these upcoming interviews are for the 3rd Squad?

Anybody got an idea how many are left in the "Keep Fit" pool?
