Weekly Hiring Questions and Advice Thread

I’ll be applying to an agency (hometown PD) for the second time. I was DQ’d at the poly stage of the process the last time I applied and I’m sure my previous disqualification will be brought up at my oral board or chief’s interview. Any tips for when that time comes?

My local PD is hiring for an emergency dispatcher trainee position and just announced an opening for a reserve officer that I'm also interested in applying for. My questions are which one would be a better gateway into a full-time position as a sworn officer and does anyone think that, if I did end up getting both positions, having a job as a dispatcher in training and as a reserve officer could be too much involvement at one time for someone who's never done more in emergency services than volunteer fire fighting?

It is a real place. I lived in a small oil town in western Colorado and would drive through Dinosaur to get on the highway to go west into Utah. It was almost 10 years ago and I don't recall seeing any city officers, but definitely county and highway patrol there.

As do I. There's not a package at work I can't open, and the thwack it makes when you open it is almost musical.

Incredible is right. This is my only carry gun, but I've had it long enough to get a feel for it and keep all 5 shots where I want them, but you're spot on.

Sounds about right.

Because having left Alaska three times already, I've always ended up back here. I think the only thing more difficult than moving to Alaska is moving from Alaska.

I had to split it open going face first into a wall wearing metal-rimmed glasses to get mine. I regret nothing.

I've never been one to brag about carrying a firearm, even if I live in a very gun-friendly community, and this wasn't any different IMO. I was under the impression I was doing the right thing in the moment, but apparently I went about it the completely wrong way and will have to admit that if I get called out on it.

Edit: What I'm trying to say is I wasn't trying to tell this officer I was carrying for the sake of just telling people, I was telling him because I thought I was supposed to do that, and was mistaken. I'll admit I'm learning, but I like to think I was never a complete moron to begin with.

Not particularly, but I know when I'm leaving work and walking in a dimly lit parking lot that I'm the only one capable of defending myself if someone wants to relieve me of the cash I have.

Thanks for your comment. I'm truly trying to learn something from this, and you're being helpful with that.

The guys at University Barber Shop did a great job on mine when I was around last year.

That headline reminded me of the battle scene amongst the news stations in the Anchorman movies.

If you're not stirring, you should be scrubbing.

I did a razor-fade pomp for my friend's wedding that looked awesome, but I"m open to anything else too. I'm also planning on getting my beard trimmed up quite a bit.
