New Member Introductions

Hey, I'm obviously new to the site, so this seemed a good place to start! I have my A/C for the MET on the 22nd of January, so it would be great to hear from anyone with any tips or little gems of advise, as well as anyone who has the A/C on the same day. I would be interested in how people went about preparing for the actual day?. Look forward to hearing from you. Ad

(you know what they say, no news and all that... ) i'd appreciate any comments, Thanks, John.

I have my SET test on Sunday at Jackton but I have been told that before the test you are given a sheet of paper with five questions on it??? Can anyone tell me if this is correct and a step for a hint at the questions??? Thanks, David.

Hi Guy's my names Lewis, Would like to say nice forum I am 16 and live in scotland near Cumbernauld. I am considering leaving school but dont know what carrer path to take. Anyways, as you might of gathered-from my name i like all aspects of stalking and shooting, I have a Shotgun certificate and like country management but most of all gundogs.

Hi All, Hope you are all well. I attended a recruitment day in October and have been told that my assessment day will take place in Feb – anyone else have these time scales? Like most peeps on here, feeling very nervous and wanted to know if anyone could let me know what to expect? What do the role plays cover? What sort of reading and or practise can I do? Would love to chat to others going through the process. Smelly x

Hello all.... Is there anybody out there who can help a bobby like me who wants a change in post but doesn't like interviews?? I am hoping to get the chance to be interviewed for a dog handlers post and as I am sure you are all aware, the chance of a job like this comes along once in a blue moon so don't want to mess things up.

Are there any handlers, sergeants, recruitment personnel or interview experts who can give me an idea of the likely questions that will be asked? Responses required? Is it best to have handful of examples of incidents? What do I wear? Why do i want to d…
