I was in the Royal Navy, hence my healthy dislike of all things RAF....well apart from all the good looking WRAFs :p

Just so you know, you will be known as a "Crabfat" by the other services :p

As I said, you probably want to review your interviewing techniques. You'll be turning away staff that actually know what they're doing otherwise.
 
I had an interview a few months ago. They will ask you about your life and your hobbies especially about what you did at school (try to come up with team excercises; sports, clubs etc). They will ask you about what you know about the RAF and the role youre applying for, try and know some simple facts. They will ask you why you want to join (was told this will probably be the most important question).

Be yourself, don't try to over sell it too much, they choose you if you're right for it.

Good luck :)
 
When i was applying for my A-level Scholarship that they asked several questions about current affairs.

They want you to know what is going on in the world, they dont just want you to go out and follow orders, they want you to understand the orders and why you have to do them!

Good Luck!

Oh and if they mention 'Rugga' thats posh RAF for rugby :D

When I was 18 looking for my first job I was told this too. I followed it. It was reasonably good advice in the absence of any other and given my inexperience at that age. But nowadays, with much more confidence and experience of work and life I trust my own instincts. I would be more likely to offer the job to someone who showed they were confident, met me on an equal level and then went on to explain why they were the best candidate for the job. Personally, given two identical candidates, I'd be more inclined to offer the more forward and confident person the job. I want someone who is able to work on their own initiative and not wait for direction. Offering a hand and asking if it's ok for them to sit is one indication of personal confidence.

Why is not offering a hand before the interviewer does so, an indication that they know what they are doing?

An interviewee that offers me a hand before I do when I'm interviewing strikes me as someone that doesn't really know how to act in interviews.

Maybe it's the interviewer that is not reacting properly? ;)
 
Good luck mate. My girlfriend recently had an interview with the RAF and passed with flying colours. Apparently it's quite easy :) She took hers in Cambridge.
