Where is your resume?

[fire49]

Do not list your girlfriend, girlfriend's Mother, teacher as references

List any jobs even though they are not fire related

Unless you are older the resume should be short

Education experience references

Most of this stuff is picked up on the application anyway

[PaulC.]

Keep it one page. No long explanations, just highlights. There are some good formats out there. I think Capt. Bob and Chief Lepore might have something about them on their sites.

Keep up the good work.
