Good stuff mate, religion has never been my thing, but each to their own. Metal fab is something i would love to get into. Once i have finished my probationary year i might approach the tafe to see if Bathurst tafe offers night classes and stuff. |

Well after 3 days of ringing the recruitment section of corrective services i finally got to speak to somebody.
I have my name down for a testing day on sunday 31st Jan. It starts at 8:30am and goes till approx 4pm, so going to be a long day.
The gut i spoke to said there are a few people but most wanna go on saturday, so i took the option with less people

Well what a day it was.
Some long tests. Started off with 10 minutes to do 10 maths questions, then some reading and comprehension. Then we did a few reports and then read 2 reports and took bullet points out of a couple.
The it was an essay, which we had 30 minutes to do.
Then we a couple of short physic questionnaires 2x 30 minutes each.
Then we had a 3 1/2 hour 650+ question physic evaluation. (3 1/2 hours was max time allowed) apparently its the same test that the fire brigade, ambulance and police do.
After doing all the tests i now wait for a phone to call to organise an interview, it may take up to 3 weeks to find something out. But could be as early as this week.
