Negatives:
1. The first unit I rushed, I thought it went terribly and ended up making it to the final round of interviews with a KC-135 unit. I was so nervous that I realized mid-way through the interview that I absolutely was messing up my answers. This of course, was before I found out about this website so I was unable to prepare at all. Obviously, I did not get the slot and when I asked for feedback, they said they loved my personality and that if I really wanted to join that I should enlist. I do not have any desire to enlist at the moment so I pushed on and went on to my second unit and did not make it to the interviews. The the third unit I applied to I did not even make it to the meet and greet. I feel as if my "performance" is getting worse and I am not even getting any chances anymore. Was this normal for everyone else? I am going to keep applying but I am definitely starting to get discouraged.
2. How important is job titles? During college, I was struggling to find a job due to COVID and the place that I work at now gave me a chance and hired me. The job was very good to me and I have been working there for around 3 years now. The money is not the best and I could definitely get a higher paying job, but my boss eventually promoted me to a supervisor and has been struggling to hire more people. I did not just want to leave him high and dry so I am staying since he helped me out when I was in my lows. my job title is Valet Supervisor and I heard that places don't really care what you do for work as long as I get some good leadership skills. Is this somewhat true?
I just want to hear honest answers as to what my chances to get hired with a heavy unit are and maybe anymore tips to help me out on my journey. Thanks.
