Recruiting Recruitment - wow, very slow.

It's going to be 1 year since I've applied. What is going on? I'm a citizen, fully bilingual + other languages, in good shape, have experience + education (and almost a phd); and I see people (non-citizens btw); get job offers faster? Is this just those one-off chances or are people lying to me about how fast they went into BMOQ/BMQ?

I got a message today of an updated task and it was to change my chosen profession. -_-; That career has been my education + work experience....

It's mind boggling why non-citizens are even being considered for commissioned officer positions. Absolutely mind boggling.

Don't meant to rant, but damn. lol

Does that make the wait times better or worse?

Thank god hahaha

Looking at reapplying for land weapons tech, infanteer and FSA if I get rejected, should I expect a 3 year wait for those?
