Seriously though, should there be anything which i should be wary of during interview? My thoughts are that the force will try everything possible to NOT pass any FAC, but as long as I stick to my genuine reasons i should be ok? help?!? Quote Link to post

The interview is the easy bit, just get the cream cakes and coffee ready, show him your finest collection of Malts and insist he samples a few, impress him with your collection of nunchucks, stars and knives, World War II posters of your hero Adolf and tell him you can get him a deal on BNP membership as you know all the top people!! Problem solved! PS. Make sure he knows that 6 month spell you spent in the special care ward is over now and you have no further recurrence since your release a couple of weeks ago!

Im not sure who looks after my area (east leicester) Have spoken to a guy called Paul Mummery several times, and he has been massively helpful, but said he doesnt cover this area. Another member on here who isnt too far from me has Collins, so it looks like it will be him. Cheers Quote Link to post
Leicester hunter 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 [BEWARE THE DREADED "WHERE WILL YOU KEEP YOUR CABINET KEYS"! Funny, cause i had this on my shot gun interview! Even asked if my wife/kids knew where they were! Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Being serious for a moment, most FEO are ok, there are a few plonkers who will take great delight in trying to trip you up or worse, the best advice is......Be yourself, and don't waffle, if they ask something and you don't know, tell them, far better that than balls it up, they do not expect you to know everything!! ATB!! Quote Link to post
Leicester hunter 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 < UPDATE, Well, only sent my application in a week ago last friday, and i have my interview and land check on Monday morning coming! Thought this was a bot quick? not complaining though. My SGC took about 3 weeks for the interview, then i had my licence a further 2 weeks after that. More to follow......... D Quote Link to post
