I'm headed for an interview at my local FD. I don't know what to expect. I got into it to volunteer, but I guess they pay everybody now for their time? So, now I've got an interview panel to talk to. That's ok.

It's kind of interesting to go to an interview with out the pressure and anxiety. Maybe they'll think I'm so calm and mellow that they will offer me a good position with benefits. Anyone see the movie Office Space?

Well wish me luck if you wish--for what, I don't know;) :D
 
Check your fly before you go into the interview.

Call everybody "Sir" or "Maam" until instructed otherwise.

Wacherass.


Good luck.

Don't rest your back on the back of the chair.

Don't forget anything

Don't worry.

LOL:D


Seriously though, thanks for good advice guys:thumbup:

Interview's at 6:30pm in case you're wondering why I'm still kicking around...
 
Yeah, don't have any boogers hanging up in your nostrils and no earwax sliding out of your ears. Keep the lice at bay in your pelt and don't have tissues stuck all over your face from razor cuts.

Good luck, Sir. You're the best and hopefully they'll pick up on that.

When they ask a question you do not know the answer, refrain from saying:

"how the Fu*k am I supposed to know. if it does slip out, apologize and explain it is because you are hungover, seriously hungover!!!

Seriously, best of luck. Firefighting is a very honorable profession

:D I shave my head, so the lice have to go to my back--out of sight at least. The razor nicks are a big worry what with the large surface area of my melon (I mean come on! with a brain THIS big..:rolleyes: :p :D )

Well it went very well! The department is offers alot more than I thought it did with respect to paid training and hours available:thumbup: Some very nice folks too.

Man, how I wish I'd read this BEFORE I went. I had nothing to say after that slipped out except "uh, er, sorry" but other than that it went great;) :rolleyes: Come to think of it that was the last question they asked me...hmmm.
 
You're supposed to ask the Middle Aged Broad sitting with the Interviewers when she gets off work. She'll be licking her lips because the cig that's normally there can't be for another five minutes until the interview's over. If she's swinging one leg uselessly against the other under the table you know she knows you know she likes to do the Nasty.

That's funny, there WAS a middle-aged woman among the interviewers! I did not however ask her that;) I think she might be the Deputy Chief--just as well I didn't:eek:

Well, was she the Nurse Ratchet Type?

Perhaps the Balbricker Type ? (I didn't realize that was Kim Cattrell in that movie...)

Come on now inquiring minds want to know!

BTW did you manage to keep control over your goat ?
 
Congrats!!! My wife's father was a firefighter for 30 years in Miami. I love the stories he tells. He's a funny guy.
 
Thanks Andy:) I won't know until Monday or Tuesday if I got in, but I think I will. It seems like every firefighter I talk to loves the job, which is encouraging.
