i too had my interview on monday. And i dig that format of interviewing. i used approx 19:40 to answer all the questions.
it was my impression that they will be hiring approx 24-36 over the next two years....all depends on budgeting and how many retire.
does anyone know what kind of turn around we will see on the interview results?"Some people train till they get it right, we will train till we can't get it wrong"

I was told that the letters with the final ranking go out end of September and that phone calls to those entering Academy begin November. Once the candidate gets the call, they go through a drug screen, background check, and pshycological evaluation. I recall someone mentioning that there will two academies this year with 10-12 students per class.

got my letter today
I got my results today, and throughout this process i have been "cautiously optimistic". I spent countless hours studying and practicing for the written test, twice as long for the interview...and it has paid off as i am completely satisified with my final ranking.
SBFD, according to the letter interviewed 98 applicants, i hope you all did well and i wish you the best of luck in the rest of the process!"Some people train till they get it right, we will train till we can't get it wrong"

I just got my results in the mail today as well. I am also satisfied with the results. All the hard work pays off in the end. With the #'s SBFD will be hiring, the first half of the list will have a great chance of getting on during the duration of this list. I was told that if you are a medic, you will be sitting pretty no matter where you rank overall. Good luck to all.

Lot's of openings!
I just received my results today and am pleased as well. Congratulations to everyone else who has made it this far!
Now, does anyone know why South Bend has so many projected openings? With even the Batallion Chief mentioning hiring as many as 20-30 each year, it must be legit. But why so many? I'm sure there are retirements, but there can't be that many...after all, it would be atypical for such a large percentage of the department to retire at the same time.
Good luck during the rest of the process!!

25 openings in 07??
If it is true that SB is going to hire 25 for 07 I wonder if they are going to do an academy with 25 or do two academies with 12/13?
anyone have any info?
also does anyone have any info on the SBFD academy? is it an regional academy or does the city do its own? Length?"Some people train till they get it right, we will train till we can't get it wrong"
