Hi all, I am just curious to know if I am competitive enough for Supply corp, below is my profile.
Bachelor and Masters Degree in Law with a focus in contracts,
Professional certificate in IT security plus,
Currently pursuing a certificate in Project Management,
Currently have multiple years of experience in Law and over 2 years experience in IT,
Currently a Logistics Specialist 2nd class Petty Officer in the Navy Reserve (I believe my diverse knowledge should be a good thing),
Currently on a Military deployment overseas where I serve as the Lead Petty Officer,
LOR
1 My Battalion CO
1 My Deployment OIC
2 My civilian Job Managers
3 from various Navy Officers I have worked with
1 from a Major in the US Army I worked with on volunteer bases.
I have applied one time before as an E3 when I was new to the Navy but I was not picked up. Now I have had the opportunity of doing more in the Navy. I just did my Supply Corps DCO interview but I am still waiting on my interview score, I am just curious if my package is strong enough.

Oh ok, what do applicants normally get back, just the numerical score? First time through this process. My interview was around two weeks ago.

Just like any other civilian job, you are told yes or no. Nothing else.

Not really true at all, you can easily ask for feedback after a civilian interview - and sometimes potential employers say no or don’t respond. Often times however, they are more than happy to accommodate. Also my OR gave me plenty of feedback, and the officers I interviewed with were also more than happy to share their feedback as well. So while I did not receive back any scores, it’s a bit misleading to say that you will only get a yes or a no, period.

By the book recruiters aren’t required to provide feedback. Sure a few do, but more times than not they don’t.

Fair enough, but that’s not what your original response was. You’ve already clarified and added nuance to the original impression you gave which was, you will get a yes or no and nothing more - just like the civilian world. That’s not true regardless of what a recruiter has to do or doesn’t have to do. Personally, I would not want to work with anyone that will only give a “yes” or a “no” especially given the fact that many, many applicants (as I was told - you can correct me if I am wrong) do not get selected on their first try but may get selected on their second or third try.

Board results don't list specific feedback on why applicants don't get selected, similar to when you receive a job rejection email. You are only told yes or no.

It is one thing for a recruiter to give feedback on what to do to improve and they should do that by saying things like "those selected tend to have X or Y" but not give feedback specific to the applicant when possible, they could say something like "it is possible the 3.0 GPA is what led to you not getting selected".

If a person gives a feedback that is something like "you should highlight your experience in X" or "it is better to answer this question this way" or "you should get these certifications" could lead an applicant to go work on things that may not matter to the next board of evaluators like it did to the person that gave you that feedback.

The nice thing about this site is you can get info on those selected over many boards, talk to those of us who have recruited many people and get a big picture that can help you get as close to those selected as possible to give you the best chance.

It is supposed to be like @FormerRecruitingGuru said either a yes or no, just like a civilian job application.
