Air Corps Careers / Cadetships for Leaving Cert Students

psyhics isn't important.. neither is knowing how to spell it.
well...it is and it isn't.
If you don't have it but you rational why you didn't pick it for the leaving cert (ie:the greater good for me not picking psychics is that i told them i was going for very high points ans i felt i could get closer to that goal by doing subjects that required lots of learning and regurgitating BECAUSE i have a good work ethic and learning lots and lorts of notes suits me the best.. etc etc" if they believe you they should go to to your aptitude test results and see if you are actually competent in the psychics scale of things. but OBVIOUSLY its a good idea.. being a pilot is practically applying psychics everyday. knowing a regional division of italy wont help your ass if your plane is out of control...unless your flying in Italy and want to stay out of the mountainous terrain of the mezzogiorno (land of the midday sun) when extensive fold mountain ranges make the land uncondusive to arable farming... *continues ranting untill runs out of space* '<img'>

hey,
1.psychics 2. flight hours 3. r.d.f. 4.higher maths 5.sport
references and first aid aren't even noticed unless you have a terrible service record in the fca and your commanding officer gives you a terrible reference (which he/she won't cos he/she probably won't even know you that well) first aid doesn't matter. get work experience in baldonnel and try and get a summer job in an aerodrome.
if your an l.c student, you`ve an extremely slim chance but its worth going for the experience for later years. i went last year during the lc and got to the final interview, they picked ten, 8 had degrees. with a degree they can get more out of you. that being said if your shit hot it doesnt matter what age you are once over 17, and some people (legends) do manage to get it.

no i didn`t thankfully. i found the best way is to start your study from day one. and then factor in the necessary time needed for full preperation in advance. that way your clear in the time you are going to devote to the air corps and to the leaving cert.

well at the end of the day everybody has different strengths.

a sixth year (im just after doing it) could possibly have:
1. a good work ethic, a good focus on studies.
2. an ability to take, obey and follow orders.
3. be an effective organiser ( planning your study in a clear and concise manner, setting yourself attainable goals and striving to achieve them)
4. anything! everyone`s different!

from my experience in the competition so far, being yourself is the best way possible to do yourself justice. that way you`ll have no regrets about how you performed because all you can be is who you are.

all the best with the leaving this year (work from day one and it seriously takes the pressure off in may)
by the way if you are doing construction studies ; electricity, foundations, concrete, and the fireplace drawing are dead certs this year!!!! they didn`t come up for us at all  '<img'>

alright guys,
had my interview and related tests on monday. everything went well. to anyone that goes for it next year or later this week, its completely fine, everyone up there, interviewers, psychologist, etc were approachable and were there to help you. Its not stressful at all, and once your in there I found you`ll actually enjoy yourself in showing them what you have to offer the air corps.
  so now the waiting game begins.. ':p'
best of luck again joe, i know you`ll do great.
