Hey everyone, I've been putting in many days and hours preparing for this interview coming up, I have a decent shot at the job, anyway let me know how you think my answers are. We actually got a paper of some of the questions the oral board may ask. Of course I won't memorize these answers but just wanted to see where I could improve on. These are the 3 questions I am spending a lot of time on. Let me know if these are good, or a clone answer.
1. Why do you want to be a Firefighter with this city?
I want to be a Firefighter with this city because of the excellent customer service this Fire Department provides both in medical and fire. I like the team oriented and family atmoshphere that is within the stations. I always like to be learning and training on anything fire and medical related and I know this department has the best training available and offers the best opportunity to learn the job.
2. How have you prepared for this position?
I began preparing for this position almost two years ago, but I have been around the fire service most of my life due to family. I started by taking a Firefighter 1 and 2 course. I gained certification and then continued to pursue my Associate's degree in Fire Science. I became a volunteer Firefighter and respond to calls several days a week. I spend my days and nights and weekends studying anything Fire related and am constantly training to learn as much as I can.
3. What made you decide you wanted to be a Firefighter?
I have grown up around the Fire Service most of my life in a big city. I have a lot of family members that are Firefighters and I have always been interested in it. I would spend many days at the fire station when I was younger watching how they train and then I knew I wanted to do it. I didn't officially decide I wanted to be a Firefighter until I watched several emergencies in my area and how Firefighters and EMT's operate.
Those are a few, they gave us a list of some "possible" situational questions but those would be the standard questions about me.
