2022-09-27T22:52:10+00:00

Your Goal is the Badge. What’s Your Plan?  Having helped many over the years earn the badge, we have seen a thing or two. Yup. We have witnessed all types of candidates. Why is this important? Because we are passing our experience and lessons learned onto you. Here is the bottom line – you need to score high enough on your Oral Board to get a call-back.

Read What Others Say: Testimonials Many of our candidates score high enough on their Oral Boards to get a background packet. Right there and then, this puts them in the hiring process. Their buddies with far more credentials didn't believe them. As a matter of fact, they were angry because it wasn't them going forward. Here are some of these testimonials.

Private Coaching Will Make A Difference!

2022-09-27T22:53:12+00:00

Private Coaching Will Make A Difference! “Hope is the anchor to the soul.” – unknown   My name is Captain Rob. I am Captain Bob’s son. It is my job to coach all the entry level applicants nationwide.

The truth is they simply fail to include some of the key things they have done in the past that will help them stand out and reveal what kind of person they are. Let me get on my soapbox. If you have applied, taken the written, or physical ability, you are moving along in [...]

With no background, formal education, or experience related to the fire service, Jim thought he would give it a shot. The smartest thing Jim did was reach out to EatStress for help. We [...]
