I also got a letter a few days ago, but no mention of a 3 year wait to reapply.... See below:
Thank you for you attendance at the Personality Profiling and Abilities Assessment as part of
your application for the position of Firefighter with the South Australian Metropolitan Fire
Service.
The MFS received a very large number of applications so your patience has been appreciated.
The purpose of the Profiling and Abilities Assessment is to the assess applicant’s suitability for
the role in terms of traits and characteristics, compared with those associated with successful
performance in the role of Firefighter.
Unfortunately in this instance, your application will not advance to the next stage because other
applicant’s results more closely match the job requirements.
As understood by you by way of signing a declaration, the MFS and SAFESELECT will not
provide additional information regarding this stage of the process.
Once again, thank you for both your interest and the effort you have made in this process.
