Introduction

Introduction

a. Intro to ADF mentors

Hi, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to your fully catered guide on preparing you for your Interviews with the Australian Defence Force (ADF). ADFmentors is a company that focuses on getting ADF applicants (You) through the selection process of the ADF and into the career of your dreams. It is run by people who have been there and done it, some with up to 20 years of experience as an Officer in the ADF. For whatever specific Officer role you are applying for I can assure you that with a little bit of hard work and coaching, achieving this dream is entirely possible.

b. ‘The Book’ and who am I

Prior to this book no single resource existed targeting the information that you need to get the best recommendation possible out of your ADF interviews. So with this purpose in mind, ADFmentors started creating a resource for the candidates studying for their Interviews. ‘The Book’ contains all of the relevant material to put you in the top percentile and by studying the material contained within and completing the addition training weekend discussed below, you are truly giving yourself the best chance of receiving the highest recommendation out of your Defence Interviews.

When I was going through the Selection Process I created the original ‘Book’ from information given to me by successful candidates and information scattered all over the internet. I now understand that this was one of the key reasons that I received a high recommendation and it occured to me that I need to publicise this information with EXACTLY what you need to study, not abundant amounts of information that will unlikely be targeted throughout the interviews. The original book was scrappy and scattered (see the pictures below), however the information in it was solid, with all of the key study areas highlighted and post tagged. Now, for your viewing pleasure it has been completely re-created with page numbers and co-ordinated headings, not to mention all of the useful information I reflected on after my interviews and special input from other applicants and their experience. This book will save you months of unnecessary study syphoning through irrelevant information on the internet.

You can rest assured knowing that the information in this book was written by people who have been there and done it. In fact, as well as using many sections from the original ‘book’, the source of information in this book has been collected and validated from hundreds of applicants that have successfully been through the Officer Entry process themselves. It is constantly getting tweaked and updated as we receive new and more current information.

Introduction

Personally I stood in your shoes in 2011, and due to the techniques and knowledge which will be presented to you in this book I received a high recommendation from Defence Recruiting and further to this a high recommendation from my Officer Selection Board (OSB). Following on from this high recommendation I was selected as a Pilot Trainee in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Plain and simple, the stuff in ‘The Book’ works, hold onto it like your life (or career) depends on it.

Pictures of the original ‘book’ (that I used going through the selection process in 2010/11). Over 200 hours of compiling information!

Introduction

c. How ‘The Book’ fits into the big picture

As mentioned above ‘The Book’ contains the 'information' that you need in order to receive a high recommendation throughout the Interviews in the ADF Selection Process. It works as a precursor to the ADFmentors ‘OSB Training’ which teaches you how to implement the information contained in this book and compose/present yourself in the Interviews and Group Activities. On our website www.adfmentors.com.au, you will notice that the ADFmentors ‘Aptitude Training’ covers everything you need to know (all of the shortcuts and techniques) to get a band 1 ranking through the aptitude tests. The Aptitude Training is an online course and the OSB Training is only 1.5 days in length, therefore these courses will take minimal time on you part for the greatest impact possible.

Take a moment to look at the diagram below which demonstrates how the ‘The Book’, the Aptitude Training and the OSB Training combined together in order to make the ultimate training package. Miss one and you are limiting your chances of receiving a high recommendation and being selected as an Officer in the ADF. At present the ADF are only selecting the best candidates to begin training (the ones that demonstrate great Officer potential) and to be considered the best you need a high recommendation. The last thing you want is to complete the whole selection process and walk out of OSB with a medium recommendation, destined to wait in a pool of applicants for a call that most likely will never come!

Take a Look at the ‘Selection Process’ diagram here in chapter 1.1 to see what information ‘The Book’ covers (in green). On top of this remember that OSB Training teaches you how to practically apply this information and concepts. It also prepares you for the Group Activities which is a MAJOR component of the Selection Process (where you get to show your leadership skills and Officer qualities).

The sections that are coloured blue are covered in the Aptitude Training (notice how the colours relate to the above puzzle piece image). One final note is that even though we talk about the ’15 minute interview with recruiter’ in Aptitude Training the information you use to answer the questions in those interviews is covered in this book.

Introduction

d. How often ‘The Book’ is updated

For your convenience this book is updated every 12 months, so you can be satisfied that the answers you give will be current and relevant. In addition to this however a decision has been made to post the chapter covering current affairs and current operations here on our website. The ADF is regularly in the news and it is important that you know exactly what is going on in the present moment; therefore we constantly add links and articles containing the recent developments with Defence.

Chapter 1- Officer Interview

Chapter 1 - Officer Interview

1.1 What this book will cover

Make no mistake; this book will cover a large amount of information. But don’t let this scare you as most of the information you learn will be referenced later in your career as an Officer. So as well as preparing you for your Defence Interviews, look at this book as giving you a kick-start to the knowledge you will use throughout your career. This book will definitely give you a competitive edge over the other applicants. It is estimated that the failure rate for the ADF aptitude tests is 90% and the Officer Interviews is 50%, so it’s in your best interest to take advantage of all the help you can get.

To start with, this book will identify what stages the various Defence Interviews are conducted and why they are done. The diagram below outlines each stage that an interview is conducted; this is designed to give you an overview of the process before going into details about the various milestones. This will eliminate any confusion and give you a clear understanding of the process. After the different stages are explained, the rest of ‘The Book’ will focus on the Officer Interview (which as the diagram shows is the last interview conducted, before you are accepted as an Officer). The reason for this is because every interview should be approached as if it were an Officer Interview, and the information you need to know for the Officer Interview is the same as the information you need to know for the various interviews conducted by Defence Recruiting. By preparing primarily for the Officer Interview, you will have developed all the appropriate skills and knowledge you need for the interviews by Defence Recruiting. So for ease of reading, we have targeted the Officer Interview, and you can apply these skills to the other interviews as well. Take a good look at the diagram now before moving on.

Chapter 1- Officer Interview

*This book details information you need to know regarding the Defence Interviews as shown above(in green). Remember on top of this the information covered in this book will also be used in the 15 minute interview with recruiter.

1.2 What is an Officer Interview

The ‘Officer Interview’ is the final stage of the Selection Process. A panel of three ADF Officers from each prospective service and a Psychologist interview you to determine your level of suitability to be an Officer in the ADF. Your level of suitability is broken into four categories, a high recommendation, a standard recommendation, and a low recommendation or not recommended. If you want a real chance of being selected as a Officer you will need to receive a high recommendation (I know people that have received a standard and a low recommendation and they have been waiting for over a year to get a phone call, the cold reality is they most likely won’t get one). However with that being said, what lies ahead for you are the tools you need to get a high recommendation, so your only limiting factor is the amount of time you’re willing to put in.

Prior to the Officer Interview a series Group Activities are conducted involving you and the other potential candidates. The whole process (the Group Activities and the Officer Interviews) is referred to as the Officer Selection Board (OSB) but to avoid confusion we will break the process into two phases, the Group Activities and then the Officer Interviews.

1.3 Why are the Officer Interviews done

There are a number of reasons why the Officer Interviews are conducted. The first is that they want to evaluate that you have the leadership qualities that the ADF are looking for. Second they want to see that you are generally interested in contributing to the protection of Australia and providing a service to the Australian people. And third they want to see that you have the passion and motivation towards your chosen career stream. By this stage the OSB already has a pretty good idea of the type of person you are, from the Group Activities and the previous tests and interviews they have conducted. However this is the final stage in which they will check your motivation, commitment and the knowledge you have about your ‘dream career’. After this interview the ADF will potentially spend upwards of $500,000 dollars training you to become an Officer in a given profession, so you can’t blame them for being thorough, drop out half way through training and that is potentially $250,000 down the drain.

Chapter 1- Officer Interview

1.4 What is covered in the interview

You may have noticed in the contents page that ‘The Book’ is spilt into two main categories; Personal and knowledge related. The reason for this is because these are the two categories that the interview questions fall into. The personal category covers things that are specific to you and are predominately asked by the psychologist. These questions include particular qualities they may have noticed about you during the Group Activities or during your previous interviews (e.g. we noticed you are quite a confident person, how could this hinder you in a battle situation?). The knowledge category covers a large range of information regarding your future career, the ADF structure, what operations the ADF are involved in, past operations and wars, etc. The answers will come as second nature to you after you have studied this book, and this is exactly what the Interviewers expect of you. As this book is generic for any Officer entering the Defence Force, it is up to you to do some private research into your career stream and learn all of the details regarding the training and the role you will perform once appointed. This will ultimately demonstrate your motivation, passion and burning desire to be appointed as an Officer in the role you are apply for.

1.5 How to prepare for the interview

Some candidates reading this book will find it easy to read through and remember information. Others will find they need to read through, complete the exercises at the end and do multiple mock interviews before they retain it (I fell into this category). I encourage you to work through this book using the techniques that you find work best for you. Regardless of how you learn, at the end of this book there is an exercise section which covers a large range of questions you will be asked during your Officer Interview. By the time you go for your first ’15 minute interview with a Defence Recruiter’, you should be able to answer all of the questions without referring back to this book, all of the information should be stored in your memory. I can remember back to my Assessment Day, the interview with the recruiter (note: this is the interview AFTER the ‘15 minute phone interview’) was just as detailed as the questions I got in my Officer Interview (if not more detailed). So make sure you’re fully prepared and that you can answer the all of the questions from memory before you’re interviewed by Defence Recruiting.

Once you think you know the answers to most of the questions, this is when you are ready to complete the OSB Training course. The rehearsals and feedback you get from this course is extremely valuable, I personally did about three mock interviews with an ex-Defence Officer prior to my real interviews, and I can honestly say that it made the difference between me being selected as a Pilot Trainee and Officer Cadet. After this practice I was completely fluid and confident in my answers and I was transmitting all of the information that I wanted the interviewers to hear and had eliminated all of the answers that would send up red flags (and there were quite a few). So here’s a basic plan before we get into the bulk of it:

All rights Reserved Page 14 of 115

Chapter 1- Officer Interview

1. Read through all of ‘The Book’ to get an overview of what content is covered

2. Attempt the questions and exercises in ‘The Annex’ using this book as a reference(knowledge questions)

3. Look at what answers you got wrong and what sections you need to study more thoroughly

4. Re-study what you need too

5. Do the exercise sections again without referring to ‘The Book’

6. Answer the personal questions using the guide at the end of this book

You will now be ready to attend the OSB Training Course and receive personal feedback and coaching to improve the answers you have chosen and to teach you how to present them correctly.

1.6 Approach every interview like the Officer Interview

Just to re-iterate, a very important concept to learn before you begin the entire Selection Process is that every interview should be approached as if it was an Officer Interview. By this I mean that when you study for the interviews conducted by Defence Recruiting you should prepare for them as if they were the Officer Interviews. You will find that by doing this you will have absorbed more of the information by the time it is required for the Officer Interview and the confidence you project from the knowledge you gained by studying this way will get you a better recommendation and speed up the process of being selected for Flight Screening. Also by the time it gets to your Officer Interview you will be more relaxed and confident as this is just a third repetition of something you have already experienced with Defence Recruiting, and trust me, they aren’t very different. From this point on expect to read only about the Officer Interview, but keep in mind this is the best preparation for your interviews with Defence Recruiting and the information you need for both is EXACTLY the same. The only difference being that the interviews with Defence Recruiting don’t have Group Activities before them. So with that in mind let’s get started!

Chapter 1- Officer Interview

1.7 Chapter Recap

1. This book covers the information you need to know for the interviews. This is split into twocategories: knowledge and personal related. As this book is directed at all Officer Entrants,you will need to do a small amount of additional study into the Specific Role you areapplying for. Be sure to know about the training you will undertake and the role you willperform once appointed into the ADF.

2. The Officer Interviews are conducted to check your leadership potential, your level ofmotivation, your knowledge (which demonstrates motivation), your Officer qualities andyour interest in the protection of Australia as well as the role you will perform

3. Every interview should be approached as if it were an Officer Interview.
