Unique method identifies your most relevant experience. Step-by-step guide turns your experience into perfect interview answers. Based on current Fire Service interview methods and questions (EXAMPLES INCLUDED). Find out the most common mistakes and priceless hints and tips. Written by a serving middle-manager currently interviewing within the UK Fire and Rescue Service. The most up-to-date and relevant guide available in the UK. No-nonsense, just everything you need to pass the Fire Service interview. There are currently several books, e-books and DVDs available on Amazon and other outlets all claiming to offer help and advice on how to pass the Firefighter Selection Process. A few of them offer some useful ideas and tips but all of them are inadequate in that they are either outdated or written for an American audience. Some of them are just plain wrong and unhelpful. This is the only book available which is focused entirely on how to pass the interview process, written by a serving middle manager, currently working in the recruitment process within a UK Fire and Rescue Service. All other guide books are either written by former employees of Fire and Rescue Services, or by people who have never even worked in one. Even the best of those are now several years out of date and several of them are stuffed with filler about the medical and physical stages, which is information that you can get for free online. This is the most up-to-date guidebook available and is entirely focused on the interview stage of the recruitment process in the UK. Where the interview is concerned, this is the only book you will need. The author has been involved in the interview process for over ten years, as an employee of two separate Fire and Rescue Services and working collaboratively with several others. He is still heavily involved today, writing interview questions, conducting the interviews themselves, assessing performance and providing feedback, both for interviewers and interviewees. He has interviewed countless hopefuls trying to get into the Fire and Rescue Service, hoping to become both Retained (On-Call) and Wholetime Firefighters as well as existing personnel trying to gain promotion to Crew, Watch and Station Manager. The author sits on working groups with Fire and Rescue Services from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to keep abreast of current trends and themes and has successfully mentored several individuals from other regions through the recruitment process. There can be few people currently writing in the UK with a better insight into what it takes to succeed in a Fire and Rescue Service interview. Here he shares his invaluable experience of common mistakes to avoid as well as the real nuggets of knowledge - the simple key methods that will really blow your interviewer away, take your performance up to the next level, and make you stand out from the rest.
