Pre-hire orientations

[ogomez]

How many pre-hire orientations are there? Which departments? WHat do they entail? Are they worth the time and effort form the department's point of view? Why were they started in the first place

If you have the oportunity to go to an orientation.....just go. You won't know if it's worth your while until after you went.

Why were they started---- to many phone calls asking the same question???----- applicants not being able to fill out an application???--- to many applicants failing the physical agility because they did not know what go expect????


Is it good yes anything go better inform is good

clarification

I was referring to an academy orientation like a boot camp, hands-on day. More to give candidates a taste of the physical demands of the academy. Our department is considering one to hopefully filter out people who aren't in good shape or realize it isn't for them.

If a department you are desiring to join has a pre-hire orientation[s], and it states that you should or shall attend.

Plus during the pre-hire orientation, questions can be asked and answered to those attending and the ones who choose not, well they won't get the message, eh?



It is best that you do such.
