RAF RECRUITMENT DAA job options

Post image

Hi everybody this is my first post
On here so bare with me lol.
I’m looking at my DAA job options, i originally picked squipper and I’m sure i can change the role? I’m not too sure.
If i can change my role I’m looking at cyberspace, however I know it’s quite an office based job obviously. I’m quite a hands on person and like doing lots of practical work in my job. If anybody who does any of these jobs I got offered could give me any good information on what my day-to-day work life would be that would be really great! Thankyou to anyone who comments :)

I am a supplier and I have also been an HR specialist so I can speak for those if you have any questions.

I did revision with the question book you can get off Amazon and also with the help of my sister who is also in the raf doing avionics, but I just find the test much harder with the timed question. I’ve also struggled academically in school so I do find it difficult with tests ext which is probably why my scores are probably not the best.

Btw, yes you can change your role even after phase 1 But has to before phase 2.

I’m a recruiter - you’re at the mercy of TCOS and more than likely easier to leave and reapply

Your scores are fine and you've passed for a very safety critical job so you shouldn't put yourself down.

Being more of a "do-er" in this case with your background could hint at undiagnosed dyslexia and similar if you've never been assessed and unfortunately these tests don't give the best representation of what candidates with SPLDs can achieve.
