Anyone testing here?? Saw a story they are returning 7 layed off guys and hiring 5

[OHFirestopper]

great chance of getting laid off after those two years...

[ffmedicintheCLE]

true. but greater chance of coming back then not being on at all

[BrianP37]

I've heard about the same. Looking to add 5 guys. Apparently they are only giving military credit...and they run their own academy. Fire only I believe.

[OHFirestopper]

There are plenty of cities hiring right now with more stability.

[OHFirestopper]

definitely a good test to take as any of them are, but there are other cities hiring that have never laid off.

[ffmedicintheCLE]

any that you can name would be helpful

[OHFirestopper]

Have you not taken any of the tests this past year? Parma, Parma Hts, Bedford, Euclid, Sandusky, Independence, Lakewood, Wooster, Fairview Park... To name a few

RATING
Upon receiving a passing grade, your name will be placed on a list of eligibles. Veteran’s credit of 20% (required by State Law), will be granted to those individuals who show certified proof of Honorable Discharge pursuant to state law and the rules of the Lorain Civil Service Commission prior to the establishment of the eligibility list.

well unless you are a vet I wouldn't worry about taking the test. Weird, never heard that 20% was "state law"

[OHFirestopper]

Yeah 20% is a lot, it's OH law to give veterans extra credit however there is no law on how much extra.

[ffmedicintheCLE]

yeah 20% is enough for me not to take this test and waste money and time on it. I mean I
m all for testing where ever and getting experiance testing but I would like to have a gilmmer of hope in getting a job. Saw Bedford Heights and Streetsboro in the paper today.
