I BEGAN MY RECRUITING PROCESS FOR THE RESERVE IN THE SPRING OF 2009, I HAVE COMPLETED MY TESTS AND INTERVIEWS WITH CFRC AND THOSE WITH THE RECRUITER FROM THE UNIT I AM CURRENTLY SLATED TO JOIN (TOR SCOTS R 75TH MISSISSAUGA COY). AS SOME OF YOU READING THIS YOU MAY ALREADY BE AWARE, OTTAWA WAS REALLY BACKED UP WITH NEW FILES LAST SUMMER AND THE WAIT WAS ABOUT 8-13 WEEKS. ANYWAY WHEN MY FILE FINALLY CAME BACK AND I WAS CLEARED, I WAS TOLD THAT NEXT I WOULD BE GETTING A CALL FROM MY RECRUITER TO BE SWORN IN..THAT WAS BACK IN DECEMBER. I STILL TO THIS DAY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM MY RECRUITER, EVEN AFTER WEEKLY EMAILS, PHONE CALL ATTEMPTS, VOICEMAILS AND VISITS ON PARADE NIGHTS - NOTHING NOT EVEN REPLIES
ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MY ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT THE RESERVES DID SUFFER ACUTS DUE TO THE CFDS WHICH FURTHER PUSHED THINGS BACK FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT FOR ALL THOSE THAT WERE CURRENTLY TRYING TO BE RECRUITED.
I HAVE BEGAN LOOKING INTO OTHER UNITS IN THE GTA, AND AM KIND OF EXPERIENCING NO LESSER AMOUNT OF DIFFICULTY IN TRYING TO CONTACT RECRUITERS FROM THESE UNITS. EMAILS ARE NEVER ANSWERED, PHONE CALLS NEVER RETURNED, BUT WHEN I DO GET A HOLD OF SOMEONE FROM THE UNIT THROUGH PHONE OR BY VISITING, THEY ARE NEVER THE PERSON IM SUPPOSED TO SPEAK TO OR SOMEONE THAT COULD EVEN HELP ME GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE EVER SO ELUSIVE PARTY THAT HANDLES RECRUITING.
I HAVE READ PREVIOUS THREADS ABOUT CONTACTING AND COMMUNICATING RECRUITERS, HAVING PATIENCE ETC BUT EVEN STAFF AT CFRC TELL ME THAT THIS ISNT RIGHT AND THERES NEVER REALLY ANYTHING STAFF AT CFRC CAN EVER DO TO ASSIST BECAUSE AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED MY FILE HAS BEREN PROCESSED AND IS FINISHED WITH. INFACT AFTER MY FILE CLEARED OTTAWA, THEY TOLD ME IF I DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING BEFORE OR AROUND APRIL 1 (THE NEW FISCAL YEAR AND BUDGETS ARE GIVEN TO EACH UNIT) TO FOLLOW UP OR KEEP TRYING AND THATS ALL I HAVE REALLY BEEN ABLE TO DO AT THIS POINT.
I AM INTERESTED IN INFANTRY SO IF ANY CF MEMBERS ARE READING THIS THREAD, AND CAN OFFER INSIGHT OR SUGGESTIONS OR BETTER YET CONTACT INFO FOR RECRUITERS FROM THEIR UNITS OR EVEN OTHERS (EMAILS/PHONE NUMBERS etc), I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT
