==========================================
6. Oral Interview Strategy: Short or long opening? The dilemma is shall I have a short or long answer for the typical opening question "Tell us a little about yourself". Remember "a
little". This is just an icebreaker question to get you comfortable in the chair. A one-minute or less answer about you and your hobbies is all that is needed here. They don't need your name (they already have it)
and NEVER tell them your age (they don't have that and never will until you're hired). A "Nugget" here: If they look baffled after your short answer, ask if they want more. They usually won't.
Most candidates make a big error on this question by dumping the whole load on why they want to be a firefighter, what they have done to prepare, why this city and on and on. That's not what this question is about. It's
only to get you comfortable in the chair. Then, when the panel starts asking why they want to be a firefighter, what have they done to prepare and the other standard 30 possible oral board questions, they have to
reiterate what they have already said. They lose valuable time and points here. When some candidates start talking in an oral, it's like going on a journey. There could be no final destination. Most
panel members aren't packed for the trip. I asked a candidate to tell me a little about himself during private coaching one day. I stopped him 12 minutes later. I said you have just used up 12 minutes of a 20 minute
oral. What do you think we have time for now? Thanks to Capt
Bob Smith, Entry-Level Author and Speaker, for his great insight into the oral interview process. Additional information on Capt Bob's CD/DVD Oral Interview Program can be found at the link below:
