The firefighter entry-level job interview is one of the most misunderstood and least prepared for portion of the testing process. I've seen candidates with great credentials, but can't present the package at the interview. And, if you can't present the package, you don't get the job…period! Never! Ever!
Are you a firefighter candidate that wants to shorten the learning curve between you and that badge?
Do you want to find out what skills you may be missing?
Do you feel like you have hit a wall in your orals and you don't know what to do next?
Have you already figured out that you just can't wing the oral board?
Do you want to discover the inside secrets of interviews – ideas that have been tested, proven and have worked for over 2,000 individuals who are now firefighters?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you need to get the Ultimate Firefighter Examination Package that contains Capt. Bob's entry-level DVD/CD program that has helped thousands of individuals to get the job of their dreams
What are you missing that's keeping you from gaining a badge?
Not only will you discover the skills and methods that truly can catapult your interview skills, you may spot the one big "nugget" you are missing in your presentation. Think of it – you may be too close to see your own gold mine!
Here are just some of the powerful comments others have made:
"I saw immediately the mistakes I was making."
"One 'nugget' paid for the whole program."
"It was the 'nuggets' that got me the job."
"You gave me the 'nuggets.' I nailed my next interview and got the job."
"It was the best money I have spent on gaining a career."
"The tape series has helped build up my self-confidence and keep me motivated."
What's a "nugget?"
A "nugget" is an answer to an oral board question that will get you your best score (highest possible) on that question, satisfy the board, and cause them to go on to the next question.
You will get bonus points by personalizing your answer. The "Nugget Principle" enables applicants to personalize their presentations to separate them from the "clone" candidates. No one else can tell your story. Once you start lacing answers with your personal life experiences, no matter if they aren't fire department related, is where you start creating the magic.
If you don't know how to establish yourself and the other essential skills needed to score high enough, you might as well not show up. You're dead meat! The goal is to convince the oral board that you can do the job before you get it. Stories demonstrate your experience. They tell the board that you not only know the answer to an oral board question, you have already lived it.
Someone said, “Capt. Bob, how can you help so many candidates without making them into clones?” Good question, simple answer. The real reason is that no one else can tell your story – nobody! When you start replacing your answers with your personal life experiences, that is when you start shortening the gap between getting that coveted badge.
The following are comments from successful candidates who have used the “nugget” principle:
“I wanted to write this letter in regards to your interview nuggets. I recently had interviews with large career county fire departments. Last week, I received a phone call from the Chief of a department offering me a position in the upcoming fire academy class. Your nuggets were a Godsend! Thank you so much! They made a believer out of me and I recommend your program to anyone who has an upcoming interview.”
“I just wanted to thank you for all your help with your audio/DVD tapes. I put in countless hours perfecting my nugget answers and was still amazed at how easily they flowed when I was asked the questions by my interviewers. I start with the Ames Fire Department on May 1, 2004 – thank you so much! I got my badge!”
Stories are more than facts.
Stanford University did a study that found getting a job or making a sale only has to do with 15% of your knowledge of the subject. The other 85% has to do with your enthusiasm. If you can light yourself on fire with enthusiasm and bring the excitement, emotion, the magic of the actual event in a story, the oral board will stand up, applaud and watch your ass burn.
What are you actually doing going to an oral board? If you answered: selling yourself, making a good impression, and, yes, don’t forget to ask for the job are all good. But, what you’re really doing is auditioning for the part to be a firefighter. Just like the part in a play. Do you know your lines? Do you know your part?
I’ve been on over 175 oral boards. Believe me, too many candidates fall short. They think they can wing it. They have firefighter friends that have given them mock orals. Their friends can’t bring themselves to tell them how bad they are. You know other candidates who have all the answers. If they had all the answers, they would already have the badge in a city that paid well.
You have every degree, certificate, and merit badge you can get. A volunteer, paramedic, and great experience. But you’re still the bridesmaid. You don’t have the badge. The guy you thought was the village idiot went through our program and has his chest all puffed out with a badge. Over 2,076 candidates have received their badge through this program. We have the road map.
