You bunch or sacrastic so and so's!!!!
By the way ped im a full time firefighter not a wholetime - take no notice lad and welcome to the flock.
Just incase anyone else wants guidance on interview techniques:-
- Tell them you want to be a firefighter to save life and protect property because in your mind thats the most wonderful thing you can do for someone else - say it is not a matter of posing around in a uniform but that you want to feel you doing something for your community
- Tell them you like something that involves hands on work, say you that you love working in a team, you like commeradary, love a challenge and doing something different every day.
- Quote a few facts and figures they always love that such as how many people are employed by the briagde you are going for...how many stations it has how may are wholetime( keep you lot happy) or retained etc etc how may fire appliances are on the run - to find that out contact your local fire station for help !
- Speak to other firefighters ask how they passed their interviews
All the above courtesy from your highly imformative full time Station Officer
And if you sarcy buggers were on my watch Id have you cleaning the appliances with a tooth brush until you were very sorry indeed.
Failing that strung over the drill tower (yes we still have one of those) by your shoe laces
I mean..come one lads ribbing a probationer is just unheard of in the brigade ...how could you!!!
Good luck Ped!
