What Have You Done To Prepare For The Oral Interview?
Ben wrote: I have recently been granted an interview for a fire department and have a couple quick questions for you. I have your CD's. Is the
question "What are you bringing to the job?" similar to "What have you done to prepare for this position?" Should I rhyme off qualifications, and/or education/experience? I'm not sure
what the board would be looking for. Reply: Have you tried practicing with a tape recorder to work it out? These are different questions. What are you bringing to the job is your education,
experience, ability and integrity. What have you done to prepare: Try this: Start with your education and keep it in chronological order. Then your experience in order.
End with those things you can tie your name to. Things where you were part of a team took something from inception to end or were part of a committee that established a procedure or skill. Reply: Yes, who else can tell those stories? As long as you can
present your package at the oral board, age should not be an issue. The problem is many younger candidates don't think they have the life experience needed. First you never tell the board your age. I
gave a presentation at a Fire College. Many students didn't feel they had any experience that would apply to the position. That was until I asked several candidates to tell me about their first and succeeding jobs in
life; no matter how menial it seemed. Many had paper routes, mowing lawns and working at Burger King. O.K., what did you learn? Once the answers started flowing, we heard how they learned to work hard,
have responsibility, learn customer service and how to work as a team. Did you participate in sports in school? Were you team captain? Isn't that working as a team? Do any of these areas apply to the fire service?
You bet! So any time you can relate your personal life experience in answering an oral board question, you are telling the oral board that you not only know the answer the question, you have already lived it! When the board asks what you have done to prepare for the position, don't forget to rewind the videotape of your life and create an early trail of how you learned how to work hard, have responsibility,
and work as a team. The biggest part of getting a high enough oral board score that will get you the badge is convincing the oral board you can do the job before you get it. Stories are convincing
evidence that you are the match for the badge! CPAT Station Difficulty Question: What would you consider the hardest of all the CPAT stations? My cardio was never the best but I think that it is ok now. My upper body strength is improving.
I am still worried about the test. Any help? Response: The ceiling breach and pull seems to be one of the hardest of all the CPAT because you are so tired. Prepare for this by, at the end of your
workout, when you are good and tired, super-set these without resting: Use a rope handle. This will force you to work your grip strength. Sit on the floor in front of a tricep pulley machine. Do one handed
lat pulls. Do 20 reps on the right, and 20 on the left. Explode down from the top, and lower the weight slowly (3 count). Start with 60 lbs. work up in 10 lb increments each set. Stand up immediately when
you are done, and use a dumbbell to do the following: bicep upper cuts: Start with the elbow bent in front, as in the low point of the breach and pull. Thrust up until your elbow is just about straight, not hyper
extended. Lower on a count of 3. Do 20 reps. Go to the other arm, repeat. Start with 20 lbs, move up to 25. Go back to the one armed lat pulls. Repeat this circuit 3 times at first, then work up to 6
circuits. It really works. Another Answer: Some say the hardest is the step mill/weight vest. They have a good point. It also the simplest to prepare for. Do this 2 times per week:
Another Answer: Cardio UP!!! The secret to passing the CPAT is to be in shape with a high cardiovascular fitness level and to know the techniques. The average time is between nine minutes and ten minutes, twenty seconds.
Try to think of the CPAT (or any agility) as a marathon where you are trying to complete the event instead of going for the record time. You can burn out if you are going for time no matter how well in shape you are. Thanks to Dr. Jen Milus, author of Fire It Up!,
for her great insight into the physical agility testing process. Additional information on physical agility can be found at the link below: ========================================== 14-day FREE email series! If you want to start getting that competitive edge

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!! ========================================== "Hello my
name is Drew L. After taking a couple civil service tests in Ohio and not scoring as high as I would have liked I ordered your exam prep package. I found the information in the Ultimate Package to be extremely
helpful in all aspects of the testing/hiring process. I studied the information in all the books and CD's and used the insight on the next test I took. During the test I found myself to be more confident and
relaxed. When I received my results I couldn't believe my eyes, I had scored in the top 5 percent! A couple weeks after getting my written results I was called in for the oral board interview and was ranked number 1! I
strongly believe it was the information and insight presented in the Ultimate Package that gave me the upper edge on the competition. I am proud to say today I received my appointment letter from the
mayor and am the only FF out of 200 being sworn in next Thursday! You were right; the small investment I made ordering the Ultimate package will be paid off in my first few hours working the job of
my dreams! Again THANK YOU! I strongly encourage anyone interested in becoming a firefighter to order your products; they give the advantage needed in the most competitive job market out there today. Firefighter/Paramedic Drew L. ==========================================

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!"

I became aware of your preparatory packages. I knew that if I wanted to give myself a substantial chance of getting on my dream department, I had to prepare early and set myself apart from the other candidates. Your
testing materials did that for me. Thanks!" Michael from Austin 100 % Money Back Guarantee If you are not completely satisfied, we will refund 100% of product cost - no questions askedhttp://www.fireprep.com/100__money-back_guarantee.html
