Powerful Tips For Passing The Firefighter Interview

Each stage of the application process is very important but you will probably find that this is the one stage that causes you the most nerves. In fact if you don't feel nervous leading up to and during your interview, then you are less likely to perform to your maximum capability.If you have reached this stage of the selection process then the Fire Service are interested in employing you and they want to meet you face to face in order to see what you are like as a person, and also whether you really do have the skills required to become a firefighter.This section will provide you with essential tips on the interview stage including preparation and sample questions.Before I provide you with a number of sample interview questions and tips, let's go back to our 'plan'. If I was preparing for the firefighter interview today, I would first of all ask myself the following two questions:Q1. What areas will the Fire Service assess me on during the interview?Q2. What would they expect to see from successful interview candidates?Once again I will write down my perceived answers to these questions, and I get the following responses:A1. They will probably ask me questions that are based around the firefighter Personal Qualities and Attributes. They will require me to provide 'specific' examples of where I already have experience in each of the PQA areas. They will also want to know why I want to become a firefighter and in particular why I want to join their Fire Service. They may also want to know how I have prepared for the selection process and what qualities I believe I have that will be relevant to the role.A2. They would expect successful candidates to provide specific examples that relate to the PQA related questions. They would also expect my responses to the interview questions to be concise, relevant, well structured and in a logical sequence. They would also want to see that I have put a large amount of work into my application and that I am genuinely motivated and committed to becoming a firefighter within their organisation. They will want to see that I have gone out of my way to find out about the role of a firefighter, including the proactive side of the role.Now that I have my two answers I will set out another simple plan that dictates exactly what I am going to do put those answers write. In this particular case it will look something like this:- I will learn the PQAs thoroughly and I will try to think of specific examples where can match each and every one of them. I will use the STAR method when constructing my responses to the interview questions which will allow me to put them across in a concise and logical manner. I will think of genuine reasons why I want to become a firefighter and I will make sure that I can provide good reasons as to why I want to join their particular Fire Service. I will also write down exactly what I have done to prepare for the selection process and also the qualities I believe I possess that would be suited to the role.- I will visit my local fire station and speak to the firefighter about their role. I will also visit the website of the fire service I am applying to join and learn about the proactive side to the job in addition to the reactive side.Now that you have your plan of action you can move on to preparing for the interview questions. Any potential employee must demonstrate that he/she has the ability to perform the role expected of him/her. During the interview you will need to demonstrate that you have the potential to become a firefighter and this is what the panel will be looking for. You will have learnt a tremendous amount about the Fire Service and what the role of the firefighter actually involves. Your preparation should start weeks before your interview date, not the night before.
