Tried a search, but nothing fit my question exactly.
My situation is such: I have two courses left in university, they both start this September and end this December (2011). Although I'll have completed my degree in December I don't get my degree in hand until spring (May 2012.) I'll be doing school part time this fall while working full time. I've asked three different recruiters if I can apply as a DEO at the current time as I remember seeing on the website that one can apply as a DEO in their last year of study. Recruiter #1 said not a problem apply as soon as you wish. Recruiter #2 did not know whether or not I could apply before graduation and #3 said that while you can apply now it is recommended not to apply until you graduate.
Talk about conflicting information! I have the application all filled out and all my references in a row. Not to mention my desired trade is accepting applications. Can I apply now and if so is there any advantage to waiting? If I do apply now, and assuming I complete my course, will I be able to be enrolled before graduation in spring? In other words can I be enrolled when my degree is complete or must I wait till I have the degree in hand?
