1. Fire Prep Topics of Interest – Master the First Impression I spoke to a group of volunteers who were mostly aspiring firefighters recently. As I was greeting several members before I started, I shook
hands with a big strapping lad who had firefighter written all over him. He had that kind of firm handshake, smile and focused eye contact that can cause an oral board panel to want to hand him a badge. A few
moments later I turned to shake hands with another big guy. His handshake didn't carry the same message. The big problem was he didn't know. No one had told him. I had him go over and shake hands with the first guy.
They worked on it for a few minutes and he returned with a more confident handshake. The following is from Work Your Network, by Joe "Mr. Network" Pelayo
http://www.josephmichaels.com/book/book.shtml
: A UCLA study found that when 2 people meet for the first time they make 20 distinctions about each other in the first 20 seconds, then spend the next 20 minutes finding out whether or not they were
right! The same study found that a handshake is worth an hour's conversation between two people, because handshakes are thought to be a judge of your character.
Use that handshake to make the right first impression. First, it's expected you could be a little nervous. One of the raters will usually come out, escort you into the room. As you stand up wipe any
clammy sweat off your hands on the back of your pants. As you're introduced for an interview, look each rater in the eye and give a firm handshake. Practice handshakes. Too many times candidates give dead fish
handshakes. Come on folks. When shaking hands with a female rater don't wait for the high beams to come on in her eyes because of too much pressure. Just match the pressure in her handshake. At
the end of the interview they will usually stand and shake hands again. Same eye contact while thanking (by rank if you know) them for the opportunity. Thanks to Capt Bob Smith,
Entry-Level Author and Speaker, for his great insight into the oral interview process.

proof that your nuggets work. I just went yesterday to the Austin Oral Board Interview and I did amazing. Out of a possible 120 pts, I scored 119.87 pts! I couldn't believe it! I went in there and it
was Show Time. I personalized my answers. Even one of the panel members went outside to tell me I did really well and shook my hand. And another firefighter said that my score was the highest he had seen. Just
wanted to say THANK YOU!" ArmandoGo to the link below to Review Capt. Bob's Oral Interview
