These guys are jags, why the hell can't they do the different steps on various weekends. I hate it when Dept's do this. People have jobs, pretty inconsiderate as far as I'm concerned.

Yea, but the people doing the interview/PAT/test also have jobs. And many of them work 40 hours Monday-Friday.

I'll be applying for sure, does anybody know how many they are looking to hire?

Good luck to everybody!

Yeah, it tends to weed out the people who just want everything handed to them on a golden platter.

[quayleman]

yea it does suck when everything is on a different weekend. and its even worse when you are coming from out of state. (as i do) but its my dream to get hired out in colorado so to me its worth the effort no if thats what it takes.

PAT sounds exactly like West Metros, but didn't see if it was pass/fail or scored. Anyone know?

[DexterRutecki]

pass/fail.

Just so you guys know the people putting on the testing also read these forums.

Exactly. So watch your tongue Dexter Rutecki, if that's your real name.

2nd that. That's why I don't put anything on here that I wouldn't mind a background investigator reading. It's happened before with other depts that I have tested with.

Chappy, if you are with RWBFD (which the quoted post implies), it looks like a great dept. I wish you an your dept good luck with your hiring process.

I won't be testing, but best of luck to any that are. It's a great opportunity.

Not my real name and I hope admin is/are reading this forum. I'm sorry, but most people can't afford to take off at least three days of work to test. Most dept's do at least the physical and written on weekends. Just seems kind of silly to have 100 or so people have to take vacation so that two or three people won't have to work a weekend. Also, people that have careers and don't have a summer job Lifeguarding at the local YMCA find it hard to explain why they need to take off three Mondays in a row. That's all.

It's really kind of hard to understand, actually. If you want the job; you apply, you test and, you make all appointments at the testing department's discretion.
If you can't, or won't, no big deal; someone else will.

Now applicants are demanding that a department schedule it's testing process around the applicants? Really?
