AFCO interview questions

mike1984

I have seen that a few people have failed their filter interview AFCO so here is what I got if anyone wants any help.

Tips
1) Don't talk in monotone all the time try and express your personality a little bit. ( My officer said try and express a bit of light humor)
2) Don't Fidget during the interview
3) If you don't know an answer just say you don't know the answer. Don't try making something up because remember they know a lot more about the subject than you.
4) be confident.
5) Try sell yourself as much as you can, if you think its relevant then say it.

My questions:

What is your date of birth?
Where were you born?
Where do you live?
How long have you lived there?

no problem if u have any questions prior to your interview feel free to PM and ask. About your training just revise everything that you would be expect to do as a Provost officer as in step by step and include IOT plus where its all done. Also revise what would be expected of you as a junior officer in your branch and how your career could be developed.

Any problem just ask
