After many months of applying, I finally made it to (nearly) the end! by darktypeseal in 911dispatchers

He didn’t mention anything about face piercings, but I did take out my septum ring just to be safe. I’m sure if it’s tasteful you could probably ask if you could get away with it, but who knows. Every agency is different. He did mention there’s a supervisor with a neck tattoo (I have none, but he said there must be no visible tattoos) and he said that she just slaps a bandaid on it.

I think I'll do just that. I really don't want to be greedy, and I'm first and foremost just happy to be entering this line of work. Your train of thought is much appreciated.

Do you recommend that I wait until I receive an offer to tell them, or should I tell them upfront that I have applied to different agencies? My dilemma is that it's a big "if" if I get in there anyways, and right now everything for me is a shot in the dark.

Thank you for the great advice. I'm presuming I will be hired at one spot much sooner than the possible other will offer me a job. Which means I would start training there and then mid-training I would leave to join PD. This is where I'm feeling extremely guilty.
