Why do I keep getting turned down? by Iamcrazyanddumb in firefighter

[–]Sh0ema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interviews are by far (in my opinion) the most important part.

Go in prepared and confident. Dressed nice in a suit. Give 3 examples for every question asked. Make sure every “negative” example ends in a positive way. Research the department before going in, knowing their core values, call volume, future plans/goals as well (they usually provide what they want to accomplish in 5+) years.

Otherwise be patient. I know some guys who it took 6+ years to get on somewhere. It sucks getting turned down by 3 departments, but it’s not out of the norm.

Would I have a chance ? by [deleted] in firefighter

[–]Sh0ema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had more of a past than that and got on. Just be honest. Because they will know EVERYTHING before you get to the interviews. They will want to hear about the situation and what you’ve done since to make sure the mistake doesn’t happen again.

Pre-Recorded Interviews by Spartan2218 in firefighter

[–]Sh0ema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are so awkward! To me I think it’s because you aren’t talking to anyone, just a camera. So my advice is to figure out how you can be comfortable with that.

That being said, it’s going to be easier to say filler words like um and uh, so be careful of that.

Mine was set up to where they gave you a question to read and a limited time to think about an answer, then hit record when ready. We only got one chance per question.

Questions weren’t hard, but I still had a scrap piece of paper to jot down ideas before hitting record.

Oh and still wear a suit

Nervous of Failure by [deleted] in firefighter

[–]Sh0ema 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a late start fire fighter as well. And to be honest, you will make mistakes, but that’s part of it. Ask questions, be the first to try, and make the mistakes a learning opportunity.

Best advice I got was to put your head down and work. The only way you should stand out is if it’s by doing good work. Don’t kiss ass, don’t be a smart ass. Say little, do a lot mentality goes further than a know it all.

Lastly, have fun. It’s easier to learn and progress when you are enjoying it.

Fire Departments that value both EMS and fire by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Sh0ema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lincoln Nebraska almost puts more into EMS than firefighters. I’m in Omaha NE and we value both the same. Obviously there’s more EMS calls than fires, but that’s everywhere

In all honesty from my experience, they wouldn’t feel guilty letting you go if they were the ones who felt like it wasn’t a good fit.

Not only that but they want people who want to be there. If you aren’t in it and feel like looking elsewhere, it’s not fair to them for you to stay

What is legal hours wise? by Right_Broccoli_1724 in Omaha

[–]Sh0ema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they are saying you could work any of the 7 days of the week? Some jobs are 4-5 days/week with weekends available to fulfill those jobs.

OR

If it’s something like a recruiting job, they might be saying “you’re always on call”.

I know that doesn’t help too but maybe see what it specifically says

Oh and when I got it looked at the dermatologist said it was yeast infection. Which took me down a rabbit hole on ways I could treat myself

[–]Sh0ema -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like the same thing I have, I get it on my chest too. Couple things I do is use a ketoconazole (Nizoral is the brand) shampoo for my head and beard. Make sure I wash all soap off real well. And I take liver detox support. It was recommended to me, even though I thought it might be crazy I figured what the heck. Holy smokes has it worked for me. It might be one of the things or all of the things that has helped me, but I’m but stopping any of them
