The interviews start next week. If you are invited to interview, do prepare for it (and dress smartly).
There will be a board of 2 RAF officers, either serving or retired, who will conduct a structured interview. Most likely they will be members of ULAS staff.
The first part of the interview will consist of questions about your recent past, your home life, your schooling and studies, your hobbies, sports and any adventures you might have had. The other officer will then take over, after about 20 minutes, to ask you what you know about ULAS and the RAF, their rôles and equipment (aircraft) and what jobs are carried out by RAF officers. Remember that we aim to tempt people to join the officer corps, so it will help if you have looked at the various options available for careers in the RAF.
The interview will then continue on wider-ranging subjects to do with current affairs, both at home and abroad, perhaps including NATO. The officer will have to ask you about any convictions you have against you and about your attitude to drug abuse, but he or she will finish with invitation to ask them any question you might like.
The whole interview should be over within 45 to 50 minutes; it is a relatively informal process, but the board will expect you to treat it seriously and to do your best. Whatever the result, it can be useful practice for any job interview.
As with any other organisation, the board will expect you to have researched a bit about ULAS and the RAF . . . and the world.

Freshers' Fairs — what to expect
17/09/11 11:53
You will need to speak to a member of the Squadron staff to obtain an application. This means that we can chat to you and discuss whether the Squadron is for you. It’s a busy sort of team to join, and you must have time to run the Squadron, events, activities and routine chores/
We expect to come second only to your university course, so consider your timetable carefully.
But once you sorted it out, the benefits of membership are immense; the University of London offers great opportunities for flying, sports and adventure.
