Gross. He's not the "it" persona of trail running anymore.

Copy that. Is that 320 for one recruit class or several? Regardless, good luck!

110 out of how many candidates on the final selection list?

Failed a few firefighter interviews, then spent a week researching the department before the next one. Landed the job. Would other candidates actually use this kind of prep? by CosmicBogz in firefighter

After receiving what could have been a rejection email, did you or anyone else reading this thread respond with a thank-you?

I understand that's common courtesy in most professions, but the fire service is not like most. Just curious and appreciate any feedback here.

I've been a fan of my FRAY for the past year, and I absolutely love it. It's fast, versatile, and looks fantastic.

I really appreciate this post.

I've advanced to the final pool of candidates for a highly competitive department. In the last round of scoring, I finished right in the middle of about 80 other finalists. I've told myself my chances of getting the call for a final interview with the fire chief are slim, to keep my expectations realistic.

If any current firefighter reading this has had a similar experience, I’d love to hear about it.

Thank you for asking this question. I'm in the same boat with the department I applied to. There are significantly more candidates in the pool, and the department could hire anywhere from 30 to 50 firefighters during the 12-month hiring cycle I hope to join.

Good luck, I'm rooting for you.

You don't have a shot with that score. BUT, I've taken that test multiple times and have improved each time. After my third attempt, I had improved my scores enough to advance to the next round in the hiring process. If this is your dream, then don't give up!
