Hi all!
I am applying for the Calgary Highlanders as an Infantry reservist, but there is 70 applicants applying for 5 positions; now I am 17 years of age, I am still in high school. I was wondering, if anyone can tell me, how to better my application, so I may be considered for enrollment, above the other 70. I do a lot of construction, cabinetry, carpentry, its quite a hobby of mine, and I have done electric welding, plenty of volunteer work; got enough sports and team based experience. But I feel as though my application will lack, due to my low edu. I am trying my best; to be ready, mentally and physically. I work out daily, I study for aptitude tests, I even have wrote down some points I will need in the interview with the 2nd Lt, which the Cpl instructed me to email. I am very dedicated to being in the forces, I really want this position, I am even considering taking some night/summer school courses in order to graduate early.
Can you guys please tell me, what are the best ways to improve my application, I will do anything, with in a reasonable sense. This is very competitive, and I am willing to prove, in any way, that the unit will not waste 70 odd thousand dollars to train me.
