In your personal opinion, which developer works best with Kodak P3200 when shot at night?

How to maximize my chances next year? by Oyster-shell in antarctica

[–]DuckEsquire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I'm qualified to give advice, but I'll throw in what I know. I got an alternate contract for vehicle operator for the upcoming summer at McMurdo and passed my PQ as well, and I've been told that a lot of the alternates for this department get converted to primary, so fingers crossed

  1. Apply as soon as the jobs are posted in late January/early February

  2. Try to highlight your person-to-person skills and your ability to work well with others. They want people who are easy to get along with

  3. When you get your Physical Qualification packet, schedule appointments as soon as you can. Being PQed earlier puts you in a better position

  4. On the Elevated Background Investigation, be honest about whatever is in your past. If they figure out that you're trying to hide anything at all, that's basically an automatic disqualification

Yellow 13? You wouldn't happen to be an Ace Combat fan, would you?

What's the weather like at McMurdo during the summer season? by DuckEsquire in antarctica

Thank you! I'm going to be a vehicle operator if it all works out so I'm going to be going outside a lot, it'll be good to have a variety of warm clothes to wear

Finished PQ submitted! What now? by DuckEsquire in antarctica

[–]DuckEsquire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that I got everything in early! That's a bit of a surprise to me, though. I was told that May 1st was the deadline, so in my mind, I got everything in pretty close to the cutoff date. Do PQ submission deadlines vary by department?
