Keep the faith!
Hey Folks,
I don't mean to add to the confusion, but here's my story. I received the same email everyone else did in early January about the position being filled, and couldn't find the 2007 app on the web site. Well, I was called last week for an interview based off my 2006 app. After I got the call, I logged in to the application center and HR had put a 2007 app on there for me to fill out.
I never got any kind of personality assessment, just a call out of the blue (best phone call I've ever received!). I was completely shocked to get a call, now I'm just hoping the interview goes well next week. I'll let you know if I get any helpful info about the application system.
I'm a civilian with no heavy/international experience, so there's hope for everyone! I also know of several other regional guys that have interviewed recently, so definitely stay persistant. I don't know what got me the call, I just feel darn lucky to get the chance! I had several internal recs, went to a few job fairs, and updated every 2 weeks.
Good luck everyone
