Dreams Do Come True – When Prepared

2020-05-29T16:56:53+00:00

Dreams Do Come True – When Prepared Having over 40 plus years in fire service, I can brag and tell you that I know a thing or two. I hear from candidates every day about their struggles and difficulties scoring high enough to get the job done. With our program, we work to help them discover what is holding them back and what needs to be overcome in order to get them the badge. One candidate emailed me the following: I didn't realize how incredibly dead in the water I was. You see, I thought my answers to the oral [...]

Which Path Will You Take?

2020-05-29T17:07:58+00:00

Which Path Will You Take? In our last four academies, we hired 39 medics and 12 firefighters. Here was the thinking….our department wanted a medic at each station. As a result, we were down about 25-30 people. And, we didn’t hire all medics because medics weren’t the people who were retiring. The long and short is that we didn’t need everyone to be a medic. We just needed some to be medics. Here is what happened. When I asked around to find out which of the 51 people had a degree, no one knew. You see, at least with my [...]

How Long Can You Tread Water?

How Long Can You Tread Water? I could not agree more with the value of an education. Education can and will help you in many ways. But, here is the truth – everyone has an opinion about this, and there are exceptions to every rule.  How does that translate to a career in Fire Service? There are many roads to earning your firefighter’s badge, and there are no guarantees in life, no matter the path you take.    If you want that badge – and cannot think of anything that you want more, then ask yourself who’s getting the badge? Are [...]

The Curve Ball Question

2020-03-07T00:04:38+00:00

The Curve Ball Question Because I interact with many who use our eatstress.com program, I received this email: Captain Bob, I have been a volunteer firefighter for 3 years now. I only began seeking employment as a career firefighter 1 year ago so that I could finish my bachelor’s degree.  I have never had any problem passing written and physical exams but am getting eliminated after oral boards.   I am at a loss of what to do here. I feel that when I walk into the room, I am well prepared for my interview. Just recently though, I was thrown for a loop [...]
