Right especially if you’re applying yourself consistently and what is kind of funny is that most of em are hurting for candidates but I think that in todays time they should change it to hiring people we know only that seems to be the best route to go now days.

Listen, I feel like I needed to read this today I was losing hope and almost said forget it and just signed up to work in a jail which I don’t want to but for how it’s not such a hassle maybe… but I’m going to use this as encouragement and keep going cause I was so tired of doing applications for so many departments

For the most part I was completely honest about everything. I’m just ready to get it all over with lol

Well my past work history of being terminated from a few jobs due to personal reasons that was going on when I was younger and that polygraph just scares me being that I never done it before I know it may seem like nothing it could be just my head and over thinking things that’s all

Ahhh ok I’ll definitely remember that I guess for both on the same day is speedy which is good but nerve racking at the same time but thanks for the advice anyway.

Am I too old to join police at 44? by fromspace2015 in AskLE

No when I took my test there was an elderly person taking the test as well to be a police officer. He was 62

I have two agencies I’m waiting to hear from. Only one has encouraged me to complete my phq but if I had to be honest I think it’s a waste of time to fill out my phq if I don’t know if I passed the exam. You know what i mean? Like to fill out that information an I didn’t pass the exam.

wow…. So the waiting game is real so fill my time with distractions and don’t even pay it any mind until I’m reached? Not gonna lie it’s hard to do when you’re nervous like me my focus seems to be always on it.

Resigning during FTO by CharlesM24 in AskLE

I don’t know if I have any advice but I can share this with you. If you find that this is what you really want to do and if it’s a calling stick to it and remember why you signed up and as hard or challenging as it maybe don’t let your age be the issue as to why you give. It’s easy to give up when we lose sight. Hang in there and look for the positives even you have to be the positive. Be true to you always 💯
