Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing blog that I've been reading for just about a week. My friend told me that I should apply for this position since it seems perfect for me and when I was researching it, I came across your page! I will say that this has inspired me to apply and get my application all spruced up to even try to be considered. It's a long shot, but I am excited nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for sharing your life experiences.
Vigg,
ReplyDeleteNeed some advice for the IMS position let me know if you have a few mins to chat via skype or google chat if possible. thanks
Sir,
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love the blog, I have been following it for quite a while and love all your posts. Your insight has been amazing.
Second, I have failed two attempts to get in the DOS as a IMS. I have made it all they way to OA but keep falling just short of the cutoff. Im going to apply this year again and if I dont get it in, it may just be a sign to choose something else. I wanted to know if you could give me some really detailed pointers on the Memo and face to face interview sessions. Its seems like those two areas are where Im faulting. My last score was .05 away from cut off.
Thanks
Im in the same boat, I've been through two BEX interview process and miss the cutoff barely. I just attended an information session which has encouraged me to reapply.
