Day 4 of Operator Selection: The Candidate's Perspective
Listen now
Description
Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. This is the fourth of five episodes where we hear from operator candidates as they proceed through our operator assessment and selection. Please visit our YouTube channel and go to the comments section of this video to give these guys some appreciation for recording them. They sacrificed some sleep and mental bandwidth to record these for you.  https://youtu.be/Xt_BOx8L0qM?si=KTu1yde73TKLRS9p  Day four brings forth a host of insightful information coming from these nine guys as they were in the middle of Phase III (field phase). One of the main themes they discuss is how sleep deprivation is the largest variable affecting their ability to perform at peak levels. They also discuss how they are realizing that real problem-solving is often much different than what they are used to back in their normal worlds at their current units. Their insights from day four provide a great look inside the selection process for one of the nation's most elite units. I chose nine candidates at random to answer six questions each night before they went to bed down. The intent was to give the listener a feel for what it's like to move through Phase II of our selection process and how to prepare effectively before you show up. For more info on our unit...
