What should be my approach while in an interview for the armed forces?

I am applying for the armed forces (army, navy, air force). As I have weak eye-sight I do not get to apply for many posts. If I am called up for the final selections which has interviews; what should be my approach, behavior and mind set? Should I act natural and like my own self. But I doubt that I’m not that kind of a guy which takes it too be there. So how shall I take it? What shall be my mentality and thought process?

Have an answer for these two questions.

1. Why do you want to join?

2. What do you want to do?

Don’t show up wearing an Alice in Chains t-shirt. Have a clean shave (loose any facial hair) and a decent haircut. Don’t worry, it will grow back if things don’t work out.

    Interview process? Are you talking about the U.S. armed forces?

    officer or Enlisted?

    I can see why there would be interviews for officer’s. But I didn’t go through any interviews when I enlisted.

    Honesty.

    If your are straight up from the get go, then you don’t have anything to hide later on. If that costs you the chance to join, remember that you won’t get caught up in a lie later on. Honesty is the best policy.

    g-day!

    Be yourself. Recruiters see all shapes/forms/and sub-species of humans on a daily basis.
    As for weak eyesight, you’d be surprised at the leniency of some of the armed forces. I found the Army to be the most lax.
    So long as your vision is correctable up to 20/20 then you qualify for most anything.

    It is not always your vision that can keep you from having job options…it’s your ASVAB score.
    (My vision is terrible by my standards, but correctable. I got a slot as Air Traffic Controller and even passed the same flight physicals that pilots have to take.)

    Take this practice ASVAB. Do the short test version a few times then sit down and take the full length one. My score improved dramatically b/c of this. Any good recruiter will tell you that you must practice in order to have more options. If you find a recruiter who settles for your 1st score, the 1st time around…make sure you do your own research on what career ops you qualify for b/c he may not tell you.
