Hi guys just a few questions:

I'm currently 20 and have a strong feeling that is going to be something that works as a disadvantage to me. They haven't recruited in more than 6 years so will be looking for the best of the best.

Does anyone know what exactly they're looking for? Age? Education? Job experience? Etc

I'm currently a second year student also doing an evening diploma in Chinese.

Would this work for me or against me?

Regards,
Shane

To be honest, I've already read this but none of it really answers my questions.

I have. To be honest I don't think anyone can tell me anymore. My heart has been set on this but just a bad feeling it will go wrong because of what will seem inexperience.

You're probably better off asking in this thread, or it may have already been answered and you just need to click on "Search this forum" over to the right hand side at the top of the forum frame, which can only be searched when you are out in the main forum, and not reading or posting on a thread.
