So I've been patiently waiting since my interview and medical passed about a year ago now, and have been following up almost weekly the last two months. And I have been getting mixed/conflicting information from different recruiters at the main desk when calling. So here's the deal.
I interviewed for Boatswain and Cook. During the interview I had asked the Captain if I could be merit listed for just the one Occupation for the time being which was Boatswain. He said he would leave a note in my file to do so. Now recently since I've waited awhile I called the Hamilton office for an update to my file. I had finally been merit listed which was approximately two weeks ago maybe three. At that time the recruiter told me I was only Merit listed for Boatswain and did not mention cook. So I had asked him since I had interviewed for it already if he could pull my file and merit list me for Cook as well, as I see from the updated website they are in demand right now. He said he would do so and contact me back. Haven't heard from him yet.
So I called yesterday and asked for another update. This time the recruiter had told me that I would be merit listed for every occupation I was interviewed for and that there was no way to check exactly what I was merit listed for. I know I should really start writing down whom I've been talking to at the recruiting office which I will be doing from now on.
So my question is how should I go about handling this. I want to be professional about it and not come off sounding like a buffoon when I say Ive been given mixed information. I would just really like to know for sure I'm merited for Cook cause that would be my foot in the door as I have 10 years of cooking experience in the Civilian sector.
Washy.
