Chicago Illinois 2014 Firefighter/Emt

Emt will never be a requirement for the cfd, ever.

Whys that?

Yeah...again, just complete nonsense.

Would they still get 20k if EMT was a requirement to apply?

I would only imagine that it would greatly decrease the applicant pool by adding that requirement.

I’m not trying to discourage anyone. I’m just telling you what I’ve been hearing. This is the city of Chicago. Nothing is a fact till it happens.

[Rickjk91]

I definitely stated that they were all rumors. And any type of information is better then none in my opinion

[jws323323]

If you want to hear other news and rumors. They’re also saying next test requires EMT b to take

Who is "they"? Again, this sounds like a reach, just my opinion. If this is just banter within CFD (rumors) idk if reporting them here is constructive, no offense.

2 years of not hiring seems like a long time,
please let us know if you hear anything new.

It has basically already happened off this list. Second class was Aug 2016, third class was May 2018.

I understand it sucks, but if you guys are done with everything and waiting for the call - improve your fitness. If you haven’t started processing, look on Second Batallions FB page and collect everything you need now. There may be only one more processing group from this list, and who knows how many classes (if any). No time for any delays

Yeah this is head scratching. I don't buy it...if the new test is in Sept it might take until the next year for them to even be able to pull anyone from the new test. So at the earliest, 12 months of no invites? Seems odd.

I am fully committed to getting this job and have wanted it since obviously 2014. But this is the most frustrating hiring process I have ever been apart of.

[jws323323]

This is terrible news to hear. But at the same time that doesn't make sense, are they not going to process any new people until they put together a new test? Which could be months or a year away?
