First this:
Hope is the Anchor to the Soul
Rick had been testing for a while without much luck. Then, a
firefighter took him aside and directed him to out web site. He
immediately saw why he wasn’t succeeding.
Rick started testing with his big city dream department 19 months ago
with 4500 other candidates. Things finally made it to the chiefs oral.
He had all his ducks in a row. He heard after his oral that one of the
panel members said if all the candidates today could be like Rick, we’re
going to have a great day. The job offer came conditional on the
medical and psych.
The results for the final psych test were due out the following Monday
and calls would be made. Monday came and went. Just hold tight and
don’t panic. When he finally called he found out the HR gal had gone on
a weeks vacation and the envelope was sitting on her desk. Several days
passed after her return. Nothing. Everything imaginable went through
Rick’s head. Rick and his wife experienced every symptom of stress.
Out of the blue on the Thursday before Christmas the phone rings. He
got the call! All fears disappeared followed by screams and shouting.
Rick was number one by a bunch of points.
Rick is five foot two inches and weighs 118 pounds! Academy started Jan
30th.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
==========================================
Born to dance
Can you dance? Many a guy at his wedding reception sweats out the
moment he has to step on the dance floor with his need bride. Yea, I
know you’ve got some moves. How many different dance steps do you know?
How really good are those moves? Are you like Elaine on the TV series
Seinfeld when she does that jerky dance at the party thinking she’s got
it? If you were all of a sudden in a dance contest and the judges were
coming around and eliminating the contestants, as much as you were doing
your best stuff, really kicking it, could you make the cut? Too many
candidates think the same thing in their orals until the scores come
out.
It’s the same thing with the oral board where 100% of the score to get
hired. The panel plays the music. You dance. Can you make the cut
without being eliminated? It’s Showtime! The panel asks a question.
You break into a fast dance step. You think you’ve got it.
The next one was just made for you. Your confidence builds as you work
your magic. You can’t tell how the panel is scoring it. They just sit
there without any expression. What’s up with that?
The next step is a slow waltz. You don’t have an answer to this
question (waltz). These are old people dance steps. You struggle
stepping all over the question (your partners feet). As one candidate
wrote: I completed my first sentence...and went completely blank!! I
mean BLANK!! I actually felt a tumbleweed roll through my head! You
knew you were going to the dance contest and didn’t think you needed to
learn this one. The judges (panel members) are staring at you.
The next dance is your favorite. You’ve got this one. You drop on your
back spinning on the floor. But as much as you try, you’re best dance
steps aren’t cutting it. You get caught flat-footed. You mouth goes dry.
Sweat breaks out on your forehead.
Next is a Latin Cha Cha. You try to fake it. You end up doing a
version of the Hookie Pookie. The panel knows the difference.
You want them to play more of the music for your best stuff. They’ve
already done that and moved on to the twist. The twist. Oh, man I look
like a dork doing the twist. But you try it anyway. And sure enough,
you look and feel like a dork.
I was born to dance. I learned how to do the twist a long time ago.
When we were on a cruise to Alaska in August to celebrate our 40th
wedding anniversary (that tells you how long ago I learned how to
twist), they held a dance contest. After two dances we were in the
finals. The band struck up the next tune. It was the twist. Although
it had been awhile my wife and I hit it. Round and round, up and down,
round and around we’ll go. Some of the younger couples tried but didn’t
have the deep in your soul moves to compete. The judges were working
their way through eliminating couples. That’s when I started upping the
“Nugget” dance moves. I saved one of my best twist moves circling my
right arm over my head like spinning a lariat, not missing a beat. I
knew no one could touch that. The audience stood up, applauded and
cheered. Yea, we won. We were celebrities the rest of the cruise. We
made the cut. From that point on people on deck or across the dining
room would put their hand over their heads doing the lariat.
I can teach you how to do the twist and place yourself in a position to
win the prize in your oral board. Once you learn the necessary steps
you will never, ever forget just like we proved winning the dance
contest.
The point here is that it pays to learn a lot of dance steps (how to
take an oral) so when the music starts up (the questions) you can pick
up the beat, catch the rhythm with the panel and step it out to make the
cut. We have the GPS for you to get your J-O-B!

2. Entry Level Skills Tip
===========================================
Please Just Shut Up!
For most candidates trying to get them to open up is a challenge. For
some, it’s getting them to shut up. They go on and on trying to over
impress the panel, getting too familiar, chatting like their sitting
around the coffee table BSing, droning on with salvo drop answers,
trialing off, dropping in some department gossip, and what they think is
inside information that will get them extra points.
As part of his answer to tell us a little about yourself one candidate
would tell the panel what books he was reading to demonstrate he was a
man of the world and had depth. Since this was his first question of
the interview, he quickly lost the panel with this anal overkill.
These toilet trained too early candidates try to give the panel a blue
print when we just need a sketch. Try to give us a dump truck, when we
just need a trailer. For many of these wonder child beauties can learn
by just kicking their presentation back about 40% will make it just
about right.
I had told a candidate in coaching about his inability to keep his mouth
shut. I guess he didn’t believe me so he did a coaching session with
Rob. Rob told him the same thing. He called Rob and me often,
especially after he tested and didn’t get hired. Rob and I would pass
him back and forth, with, maybe you should ask Rob about that. We would
refer him back to his coaching tapes. The tapes have the answer to your
problem. Shut up.
This same motor mouth candidate called after he had a chief’s interview
with a department and as he was leaving they handed him a background.
He just knew they wanted him. What he didn’t understand was this
department handed out background packets to everyone who went to the
chief oral to speed up the process when they made their decision who to
hire. The next week I saw one of the officers who was on this guys
panel. He told me they couldn’t get this guy to shut up. That he would
be a good candidate for a near by department. Obviously they didn’t
hire him.
In another oral he dropped in some political stuff about this city
thinking they would be impressed by his research. They weren’t.
Another decline.
He went off and became a medic. He still couldn’t get hired.
It got so bad that when I picked up the phone and heard his voice I
cringed. I finally told him when he called, you’ve got 5 minutes, hit
it. Rob and I kept telling him to go back and review the coaching
tapes.
Well this candidate did get hired by the department down the road after
testing for 5 years. When he called excited to tell me I congratulated
him. Then I told him something because I didn’t want to receive the
call when he got fired. I told him unless he didn’t keep his mouth shut
they would run him out in short order. Don’t try to impress anyone.
They don’t care! Just listen to your officer and wait for him or her to
give you what you need to function. Nothing more, or less. He did. He
turned it into a game. It worked. He’s still there.

FOUR!!!!!!!
Just like learning to play golf, there is a learning curve in taking
oral interviews. Some people learn to play golf by going out with
friends and just winging it. After a while they get some lessons, which
usually means unlearning bad habits and changing to the right way. I
have done this and it is hard, there is no chance you will ever see me
on the pro tour. But I play with a guy from work that learned to play
golf by going to a pro and having him teach him the right way right off
the bat. He has a beautiful swing and can hit the cover off the ball.
I can think of at least 10 people I have talked to in the last month
that got hire after only one test. How did they do it? They learned to
do it right the first time, and that way didn’t waste time learning it
the hard way.
Having somebody help you get it right from the start will help him or
her to do just as you said. When you know you are going into your
interview with well thought out, well organized responses, that you have
memorized to the point that you could not forget them if you wanted, you
can go into an interview and be far more relaxed, and that is half of
the battle. Knowing, going in the door, that you are going to get the
best score you are able to get, allows you to be yourself. It frees you
up to actively listen, pay attention to the board’s body language, and
to sound confident.
I think, at some level, a board takes your demeanor in the stressful
interview process, and thinks that it will be an indication of what we
will see in the stressful situations that come up in the job. How do we
reduce the stress we have in the job? We learn how to do it right from
an expert, and then we drill to reinforce the skills we learned. Do the
same with your interview skills. Learn to do it right from the
beginning, by working with someone who knows, and the reinforce it by
doing mock interviews, talking into a tape player, or taking advantage
of any other interview where you can practice presenting yourself in
front of others.

4. Promotional Level Skills Tip
==========================================
Smoke Showing?
Depending on individual department procedures, I encourage candidates in
the assessment fire tactical simulation when they are dispatched to ask
how many calls have been received. Since this fire could get bigger
than they would ever fight in their career, they should order a second
alarm right off the bat and to keep from forgetting later call for PD
for traffic, Utility company, Ambulance with supervisor, air and light
unit, etc.
Then I received this from KL:
CL: On the tactical, what do I do, or how shall I continue, if when I
ask dispatch for an update on my fire scenario, dispatch states there is
none?
CB: OK, you're starting to hallucinate on me. You might be sitting
there watching a screen. This is not going to be a false alarm. It's
going to be a real fire. Maybe a big big fire. There will be more calls
coming in.
CL: How do I articulate justification of the 2nd alarm prior to arrival?
Is it based on smoke showing?
CB: Yep! You know this is going to be a bigger fire. You will never be
criticized for ordering more equipment. You will be crucified if you
don't. You can always send them home. Like most candidates, you're not
thinking big enough.
CL: If I get no updates, I can't make up the idea of smoke showing, so
how could I justify a second alarm here?
CB: You're forgetting you are in fantasyland. You can see smoke there.
Do you doubt for a moment there will not be smoke? So, it goes like
this. Dispatch, I see smoke showing and proceed. If you’re dispatched
to a single family dwelling instead of an apartment or commercial
building you might consider holding off on calling a second until you’re
on the scene.
New Promotional Badges:
Captain Bob,
A friend of mine told me about your site and I signed up for your
newsletters. I have been a Firefighter/Paramedic here in Norfolk VA for
17 years and have been trying to get promoted for the past 8. It was
always almost but no badge! I was frustrated and ready to give up. Then
I saw your tips and started paying attention to what you were saying. I
buckled down, studied hard, read everything I could get my hands on, and
practiced for my assessment like you recommended! The tape recorder
helped me improve my presentation tremendously! I ended up number 2 on
the list! Then I followed your recommendations for preparing for the
Interview. And now.....I received my Badge as a Lieutenant December
23rd,2004! What a great Christmas Gift! Thank you Capt. Bob for all the
great advice. I am telling everyone about you! I will be ordering your
CD as I will be challenging the Captains test in 2 years and I want to
be ready! Thanks again for what you are doing for your brother
Firefighters! Mike Norfolk VA
Hi Bob, Thought I'd drop you a line to let you know "I GOT MY BADGE" I
ordered your promotional package last spring and used the info to help
me promote to
Lieutenant. I was number two out of 33 who tested. Thanks Bob!

5. New Badges
==========================================
Lots of new badges!
Hello Captains Bob and Rob, Because the info that you both provide was
so instrumental in my success, I wanted to tell you both my story.
I finally figured out what I wanted to do with my life in November of
2002. I was 29 and tired of not knowing, but It finally hit me that
firefighting was what I wanted to do. I had no experience as a
firefighter except for what I did in the Navy. I started researching as
much as I could, took my first written for the city of Renton, WA in
June of 03. I bombed it.
I then found your website and read every word. My next test was Tacoma,
WA. I studied my butt off. Wrote my own tests, used a tape recorder to
ask my self questions so I could listen to them while I drove for my
work. I must have written out 600 questions. Just the process of
writing them down helped me remember facts. I took the Tacoma test in
August of '03, got a 100% and came out in band 7. Not bad for my 2nd
test.
Then, I purchased your video/cd package and practiced.
Tacoma had practice sessions for the physical agility, so I went to all
of them. I used the philosophy that every time I was around Tacoma
firefighters, was part of the interview process. I was invited to an
oral board in November of '03. I went to Men's Warehouse and bought a
$400 suit. I wasn't screwing around! ha ha! I did very well, but due
to their budget and my lack of experience, I got passed over.
I then got on with a local volunteer fire dept. near Tacoma and went
through EMT school, then a volunteer fire academy. Then began to pull
shifts with the dept. This Jan 1st, I was promoted to Resident. Doing
all of this while working a new full time job with Pepsi as a service
tech.
Tacoma FD called and invited me back to an oral board on Jan 10th of
'05. I was able to go in and tell them everything that I had done in
the last year to prepare, plus all the things that I did in life that
prepared me... before I decided that I wanted to be a firefighter. I
actually talked more about non firefighting stuff.. i.e. family.
Well, Friday there was a message on my voice mail from Tacoma Fire....I
almost fainted. I called them back and they offered me a position
contingent on a medical exam. My academy will start on March 7, 05. I
got off the phone and jumped and screamed like a little girl. It was an
amazing feeling. I am now 31....and I got it!! I needed to tell my wife,
so I typed "TACOMA FIREFIGHTER!" on a piece of paper and drove to her
work. She has a desk next to a window. I went to the window, tapped on
it and stuck that piece of paper to the window. I wish I would have had
my video camera. It was a priceless moment.
All of my family lives in Florida. My wife and I live here in Tacoma,
and we are all on cloud 9. I have made many calls back to Florida, and
I have some proud parents. This was "THE" department that I wanted to
work for and I got it! I couldn't have done it without my wife. I
spent a lot of time away from home, and studying. She was completely
supportive and understanding of what I had to do. It will be so nice to
be able to focus on one thing now....and get paid to do it!!!!
I understand that it takes some people many years to get hired. I am
grateful that I was able to do it in 2. I have a lot of respect for
those who don't quit after years and years of trying. It is one hell of
a process to put yourself through. I was pulling 120 hours of shift
work a month, plus my full time job.
So, I hope this wasn't to long and boring, but I wanted to let you both
know that you can ad me to your "New Badge list". Feel free to post
clips of this letter if you want. I never bought coaching. I tried
once, but Rob was booked up. So I just used the tape recorder and my
common sense. The cd/video and your website gave me a ton of
confidence. I would not have made it without knowing what you taught.
Thank you both for the info you provide. I have a lot of hard work
ahead of me, but it is going to be a great year!!!
Sincerely, Jason
Before I met you in Oakland I was aimless. Your program allowed me to
take aim, learn about the culture of the fire service and get my badge.
I start the academy Jan 30, 2004. Pete
Capt. Bob: Well, after a year and a half of busting my butt to make this
a reality, it finally came true today with an unbelievable department in
the coeur d'alene fd. It really is hard to describe the feeling that
you get when you get that call. I just felt compelled to put a post
here, not with the intention of bringing attention to me but to thank
the distinguished people that are compelled to help young men and women
like me achieve this unbelievable career. Capt. Bob, your Gold Package
Program gave me a huge amount of insight into what I needed to succeed
on my first oral board. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life.
Dylan
Capt. Bob, Thanks so much for all your years of knowledge and expertise.
I knew my personal stories by heart and I had NUGGET answers for all my
questions. Your program is excellent. The info is worth every penny and
more. I will start Feb.28, 2005 and I just went thru the Fire Academy
and EMT class in 2004. I got hired on my first try at 30 years old and I
have an old arrest on my record. It's truly knowing what your going to
say when they as you the questions, and in the Chief oral sticking to
your guns with what you said at the oral board.
YOU ROCK:) THANKYOU, PETE V. FL (Saint Lucie County Fire District)
Once I learned from your program how to tell my story everything change
and I got my badge in Florida. Josh
About 2 years ago you help me reach my dream of becoming a firefighter.
Unfortunately, as a rookie, I had to resign because of a DUI. After
talking to you and following your plan, not only did I just receive a
job offer, I just passed background for another fire department.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me reach my dream
once again.
Please everyone do not drink and drive. It's just not worth it! Bob
I used your nuggets for success in my chiefs interview with the Fire
Department I'm #1 on and scored a 29/30 points. The Asst. Chief stated
that it was the highest chiefs interview score they has ever had. I
truly owe it to your advice and the things I learned during a visit to
your web site. Thanks Eric
Today is a day that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life!
Today at 0830am I got a call from the chief of a dept. that I am going
to have the honor to work for. My friend told me that when you get the
call it is overwhelming. Well, he was right. It has been hours and I
still can't believe it has happened! I want to of course thank Capt.
Bob, and Capt. Rob! I got hold of their program and did the one-on-one
with Capt. Rob only 5 months ago! The motivation and direction that they
gave me is unbelievable, and now they can add myself to their list of
LUCKY individuals that get to be a part of this awesome career. I start
my academy in about 4 weeks, and am excited about the hard work that
awaits me! Thanks again
Captain Bob,
It's official! I am employed with Hilton Head Island
Fire and Rescue! I start the academy tomorrow and I
very much appreciate all of your help and support,
which helped me in getting the job. My dreams have
come true! Thank you.
Eric Schmitt
I want to thank you for your "Gold Package Program!” I believe your
information really helped me in getting the job I have now as a
firefighter/paramedic at the Vancouver Fire Dept in Vancouver, WA. I
think my "golden nugget" sealed the deal! Heidi
Cap,
I want to thank you for all your help. Your advice got me hired in May
of '03 for a small combination department and I just heard today that I
start the 18th for an all career city department with 135 members. This is the
type of department that I wanted!
The psych eval went very smoothly. No issues, and the return interview
with the shrink was not a problem........just didn't start down any road that we
didn't need to go down.
I'm living proof at 37 years old that it's not too late to start if you
are prepared. Thanks again for the advice that got me the best job in the world!
Marc
Captain Bob: I purchased your system and went through it several times.
I practiced and rehearsed, and then I went and took another test. I
aced the test receiving one of the highest written scores in the group
of several thousand candidates. I then followed that with a great time
in the physical ability test. Then came the first round of interviews.
This is where most people I knew where cut. I however went in and ACED
IT. I came out with a 92% on my interview and went on to the Chiefs
interview. I then had too waited and wait. I wasn't hired in the first
group so I had to wait. Well I waited for another year, but I just got
the call. I am now officially starting Feb. 28th. I just wanted to
thank you for your program and your email newsletters, and I just wanted
to let you know you are right, Nothing matters until you get that
BADGE!!! Thanks Rob
