Matthew Parenteau, Artillery Gunner
MY RESUME
Recruitment
I handed in my application to the recruitment officer, but I wasn't too sure about joining the military. I was so unsure that I actually withdrew my application.
I was working in Brandon, barely scraping by, and I figured "Why not give it another shot?", I phoned the recruitment centre and they put my application back in.
It took a couple of months, but they called me and offered me a few dates to go in for the interview. So I went to Winnipeg, and they paid for everything: my meals, the hotel, travel expenses.
I passed the interview, the fitness test, knowledge test and physical exams all in one day.
