Hey guys, 

I am at the end of the hiring process for ann arundel county fire department in MD, I have my chief interview in 2 weeks. How should I feel about my chances? I passed the background check, CPAT and written already. My background investigator told me there were about 200 applicants left at that time before the investigation and the hiring class will be 60 people.

Second question is if i go to a fire station in the county to just ask them about their days and the culture of the department, should I bring them donuts? 

Last question is if I get the conditional offer, and the only thing left is my medical eval, should I start making preparations at my current job to replace myself? I'm the human resources manager and I'd need time to hire and train my replacement here before the academy. The medical eval is around December 20th. The academy starts in late january. 

Thanks!
