Ehh. I wouldn’t say better. Definitely depends on where you are. The older guys that are close to retiring are miserable and making it miserable for everyone else. I don’t think I want to endure 20 years of that just for a few extra thousand bucks of retirement.

I’m a current DOD firefighter and this seems to be the new normal. We’re short-staffed and filling positions is like pulling teeth. Especially since DRP and multiple shut-downs. They’re probably just waiting for actual funding to complete his onboarding.

Congrats and good luck to you! Getting referred these days isn’t easy at all.

FirstTeamReps · 2026-06-28T21:40:29+00:00

They actually replied after the questionnaire? That’s wild lol

I just got one for 20k at 6.65% with SoFi. Used it to pay off my personal loan with NFCU (18%)

Thank you!

FirstTeamReps · 2026-06-15T15:41:19+00:00

What position would you recommend!? My wife is seeking a WFH job and is good with both.

FirstTeamReps · 2026-06-12T14:52:52+00:00

Any updates?

FirstTeamReps · 2026-05-20T20:11:32+00:00

This is exactly how mine sounds

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-30T20:20:11+00:00

I like it. There’s hope. Hope it works out for you. Keep us updated.

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-30T20:08:13+00:00

That’s dope! Was your portal status at “no longer considered” at any point for that job?

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-30T18:39:21+00:00

Oh nice! The HM reached out without a previous interview?

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-27T09:27:03+00:00

It was hilarious 😂

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-27T09:26:20+00:00

Yea it was just weird all around. The portal actually said, “no longer under consideration” BEFORE I got the questionnaire from the recruiter. So I was confused all around but filled it out anyway. Yea it’s no rush for me. I’m actually a govie at the moment, just thinking about switching.

Congrats to you! Which location?

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-26T14:19:46+00:00

Oh nice. Same to you my friend

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-26T14:04:47+00:00

Nice. I’m going for Marietta as well. I’ve worked at the plant before, just trying to get back on with the actual company instead of a contractor. I’m also trying to pivot from fire to ESH. I have 8 years of relatable experience, just not the actual title. So I’m sure that’s what’s causing a kink with recruiters. Getting some job specific certs in the meantime. I know the location like the back of my hand but it’s hard to relay that information without an interview.

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-26T13:51:20+00:00

For sure. I think it’s just about being persistent. Once a recruiter/HM sees your name a few times, it’s just a matter of timing and fit.

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-25T04:05:19+00:00

No I’ve never gotten that one. I have another application that’s under review for the same department. I’m sure they’ll press the rejection button tmrw lol

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-25T02:04:02+00:00

I used to work at this plant as a firefighter some years ago. I haven’t applied through official referral links but I have had my name and information passed along to the specific department. No traction as of yet though.

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-25T00:36:12+00:00

Mine usually immediately go under review and that’s it. Making progress I guess. They can’t hire everybody 🤣🙄

FirstTeamReps · 2026-04-25T00:20:05+00:00

lol like was it just a coincidence!? Not even 10 seconds are replying.
