How To Pass Staff Selection

[MilitaryGirlClair]

 :)A little scary...it sets the tone for encampment, but there are ways to prepare! You will be constantly asked what you are applying for. Know the answer right off the bat. Make sure you are very knowledgeable with the Drill and Ceremonies Manual. Have an amazing uniform. Every little detail counts. If you know how to make a hoospital corners, that's an extra step ahead for you! KNow ALL your memory work. You will be having an inspection. None of the SSX people want you to fail, they want you to succeed. Good luck!

Thank you for the post, ma'am(?). I will be interviewed on Monday for my first staff selection interview, and am quite nervous. This helped a lot!

Encampment and squadron staff aren't the same.

Pomegranate, any specific questions we can answer?

All you gotta do is be in with the CTG clique... 

[Cap'n]

I understand that, thank you. I am appreciative for information regarding any sort of CAP interviews at this point.

And I actually do have a question. Many people have mentioned "Drill and Ceremonies" and "Customs and Courtesies". By this, does that mean you are questioned on these topics, or does the interviewer see how well you perform on these topics during the interview?

This thread is weird. It reads like there's an original post missing.

Instead of stirring the pot why not offer some constructive advice?

Depends on where you are.  In general you should be able to ans. questions about D&C/C&C and and demonstrate them if asked.

Pomegranate: They make you drill a flight and that is the Drill and Ceremonies. They might question you about it, I don't know. But with C&C, you show it by greeting passing officers how how well you present yourself. What are you trying out for? Oh, and I'm a sgt.

Depends. Just be familiar with drill. If you can call the commands properly (correct foot, etc) than you should be able to explain it to someone.

no offense, but you do know she isn't applying for encampment staff, correct? Encampment isn't the same as home squadrons.

yeah. I was thinking the same thing.

No I didn't know...

Oh, I thought she was applying for...oh I see. I'm sorry that's my bad! I see how it can go both ways. Well, staff selection at a sq. is waaay different. I think. Again my bad, but good luck!

Thank you to everyone, I appreciate it. I apologize, I seemed to screw everyone up. I am applying for my first staff position, and was just looking for any generic interview advice.

And thank you ExtremePredjudice, you have been helpful on both this thread, and the one I myself created. I know I can be a little obnoxious when I'm nervous.

And to the OP- thank you as well, sergeant, and welcome to the forums.

I am very obnoxious, also! I bugged my school's Vice-Presidents so much they gave me a job. (Computer Science Tutor)

I apologize, I seemed to screw everyone up

It is no problem, Captalk's threads ALWAYS get derailed.

And thank you ExtremePredjudice, you have been helpful on both this thread, and the one I myself created.

No problems! You can always PM or email me, I'm more than happy to help.
