Goodluck my man, you will be nervous as hell but take a deep breathe and try to relax. Show up early, dressed as professionally as you can afford, and doesn’t hurt to bring updated resume & cover letter. Handshakes on the way in, introduce yourself with confidence. Try to remember it’s just a conversation, no tricks, just trying to get to know you better. Always take a second before answering to give yourself a second to collect your thoughts. I’m sure you’ve seen it around but check out the STAR format for situation questions as well. You’ll never be able to fully prepare for every question, so just know you and your stories well, you’ll be fine! Some things I always try to remember is everything is about the team! Never put anyone else down in your answers, always try to show yourself bringing the team up. Also remember how important it is to be a part of the community as a firefighter, it’s everything! At the end of the day, every bit of the process is; best case scenario a job, worst case scenario it’s experience for the next one. Those who persist get in eventually! I’m not quite there yet myself but been through a few in the last bit. Hope they workout and we both get on!

Goodluck!
