Is That Your Phone?

2023-03-07T02:06:40+00:00

Is That Your Phone? In many instances, access to a cell phone has made our lives easier. They provide conveniences to rather complicated situations. Being able to reach a loved one in difficult times, checking on your teenager who broke curfew,    and alerting the authorities to trouble are just a few of the many times we are glad to be connected. Cell phones offer comfort in worrisome times. In today’s world, having a cell phone by your side is a normal thing.      Cell phones are a part of each of our lives. When needed, I am grateful. But [...]

New Year’s Resolutions

2023-03-07T02:06:27+00:00

New Year’s Resolutions New Year’s Resolutions. You make them. I make them. We all make them. You see – a new year brings hope and optimism for what might come. It brings a fresh start to correct the wrongs of years past. For many, the new year means that the possibilities are endless. A 2023 Forbes Health “OnePoll” Survey found some resolutions more popular than others. The top 3 are improved mental health, improved fitness, and to lose weight. Here is the question – what percentage of New Year’s resolutions fail? Real and lasting change takes time. Setting goals too [...]

Trouble with the Written

2023-01-20T19:40:57+00:00

Trouble with the Written If you are having trouble with the written portion of the firefighter hiring process, do not feel bad. You are not alone. Trying to make the cut where departments are raising the bar is a “thing”. Of course, you want to improve your score on the written tests it is still weighted. Even still, the top program for preparing for the written test is the Encyclopedia of Firefighter Examinations (EofFE). This is where you decide to continue reading……. Many of the entry-level books today have multiple practice firefighter written examinations. These examinations cover an assortment of testing subjects. [...]

A Little Bit About Coaching

2022-09-27T22:50:06+00:00

A Little Bit About Coaching Being a person of faith helps tremendously in this job. Personally, my faith seems to give me a moral compass, a code of honor that keeps us out of trouble and helps with decision-making. I think that it helps many with this. In my experience faith has helped people dig a little deeper when they have needed it the most. You see, as firefighters, we see a lot of things nobody wants to see. Daily, we go into very sad and difficult situations. Over the years, my fire department has lost more on duty than [...]

Information is Key!

2022-09-27T22:51:19+00:00

Information is Key! If we have said it once, we have said it 100 times. After 40 years in Fire Service, we know a thing or two about earning your firefighter’s badge. As retired Fire Captains, Rob and I have found ways to share this knowledge so that others can have their dream job as a firefighter. After all, being a firefighter is like having a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth. Here is tip Number 1 - As you may know the written and the physical ability are both pass/fail. Why does this matter? Well, it tells [...]

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize!

2022-09-27T22:52:55+00:00

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize! Have you ever wanted something so badly that it is all you can think about? It could be a new car, a relationship, a house, or a JOB – like becoming a firefighter. When all you can see is what you want – how do you make sure you get closer and closer to reaching your goal? How do you know you are on the right path? Who can help you on your journey? There are many situations that come up and can distract you from getting what you want. After all, life happens [...]

Multiple Job Offers Email from Jimmy who has received 2 offers: Dear Captain Bob - After getting your program, I got offered a job. Today, another job offer came. It's unreal. Thanks for helping me package the product (Me) and sell it. It worked! Here is my dilemma. I received a conditional offer of employment from a County Fire. I have signed it and will mail it out. I need to pass the medical and psych exams. Today, another fire department's Chief called. He gave me a conditional offer over the phone. As I expected, I have to pass the [...]

Crossing the Bridges

2022-02-16T21:20:34+00:00

Crossing the Bridges Part of the work we do in preparing recruits for the firefighter testing process involves fielding phone calls. We get many, many phone calls. Some of these calls are from folks who want help with the Oral portion of a test. First, I ask the date of the Oral. The usual response is that the Oral has not been scheduled yet. They have just put in the application. For those of us training others, having more time to help our trainees is a good thing. We’ve been trying to get people to reach out to eatstress.com while [...]

Getting that Phone Call

2022-02-16T21:21:56+00:00

Getting that Phone Call Here is what Josh wrote: “Today, I'm writing with a sigh of relief. I have been offered a position with a department in Oregon. I start on January 3rd. I want to thank everyone for the help and encouragement down the long path. I want to say a special thank you to Fire Captain Bob. Without his words of wisdom, I don't think I would be writing this letter. He took me under his wing and guided me through the dark waters of the testing process. To give you an example of Captain Bob’s dedication, he [...]

Thanks, Coach!

2021-09-01T19:04:20+00:00

Thanks, Coach! Do you remember being in high school and you had a tough class? You had to pass otherwise you would not be able to play sports or worse, your parents would be pissed. What did you do? Well, if you are like some, you asked the teacher for extra help or you found someone to study with on a regular basis. Maybe you did both. The other option would have been to find a tutor. Working with a specialist one on one can make all the difference in the world. Participating in our EatStress Private Coaching is that [...]
