http://www.eatstress.com/firezinearchive.htm On the television Food Network show Dinner Impossible http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ie/ Chef Robert Irvine is given a spontaneous difficult assignment to cook for groups of construction workers, employees at a Mall, a Magic convention, etc. He shows up, gets the assignment and told what is available to him in resources to complete the mission. The first thing the Chef does is figure out what he has available for food, resources, people, where he can go to get more food, ingredients, and then makes up the all important menu. The main thing is being prepared in advance with proven recipes he uses to put it all together to satisfy the guests being served. The real secret is established plans that have worked before. One of Robert’s rules is: Get organized: Any task becomes less daunting when you break it into parts and go one step at a time. You must see the video: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ie/ See any similarities to an oral board? If you received a letter for an oral board, what is your recipe to satisfy the oral board panel to have them selected you over the other candidates?
========================================== Yesterday I had called a candidate Gary to confirm an order. When I talk to candidates who have obtained our program I ask them what caused them to separate themselves from their hard earned money to get our program? So, when I asked Gary why he said he went into a recent oral ranked at 33 and thought after all the interviews he had already been through, this time he was going to make the cut. He was surprised that the guy at number 52 blew past him and was selected. When he talked to the guy he was more surprised that this was only his second test. Then he met a guy who just got out of this same departments academy. Both had our program. He thought that being in sales and making presentations for 9 years he knew what it took to answer the questions to the point. Both candidates told him it was more of the personalized experiences and emotions that helped them get hired. Another candidate wrote: Thanks Capt. Bob. The CD's are great to listen to in the car. They are very insight full and motivating. Best of all they make you think and just don’t give you a script to follow. It has helped me think and figure out why I truly want to be a firefighter. I now have not only an answer that is not a clone but also one that it truly my own. I did not even realize it made such a turning point in my life but once you are challenged to look back it all falls into place Best Regards, Sam Reply: Thanks for letting us know. You're learning some of the secret "Nuggets". We tell candidates, "Just like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, We're not going to give you anything you don't already know, we're just going to show you where it is and how to present it." If you don't already have the
script to print out here it is:
http://www.eatstress.com/workboolette.htm http://www.eatstress.com/testdriveintro.htm Bottom line getting a badge is
all presentation skills!
It really doesn’t matter how they arrange or call the
interview process or how they do it, one thing remains the same. If you aren’t
prepared for one, you aren’t prepared for any. In most every interview there
comes a time when you need to tell us about yourself, an oral resume, and tell
us about our department. If you can’t sound comfortable and confident talking
about yourself, it is hard for us to feel comfortable and confident in giving
you this opportunity. If you are able to go into any interview with well
thought-out, well-rehearsed answers you are proud of, you will do well in any
interview. The list would look very similar if you gave the same people a
15-minute interview and then a 2-hour. The cream will always rise to the top. CAPTAIN ROB (Thank you)
http://www.myfireinterview.com I was wondering if anyone knows where there is an audio of a good size-up to situation contained. I think to hear one start to finish would be useful. Thanks Reply: Getting in a coaching session that's recorded with you in it for later review is even better yet. You will get a hands with you in the hot seat so on game day there will be no surprises.

Bob, I don't know if you will remember me, but you and I exchanged numerous e-mails after I purchased your program. I wanted to thank you for your insight and thank you for the personal e-mails you exchanged with me.., the great advice you gave me proved very helpful. I was not able to get time to schedule any one on one with you, but the assessment center lesson(s) improved my score and were invaluable (particularly the peer counseling). I just had my interview with the City Manager and Chief this afternoon. Thirty minutes later I was offered the job. Which I accepted. Twenty five years in the making, but several hours of direction from your program set me on the right track for the interviews. Thank you very much. Marty Capt. Bob, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your help and the software and information you provided. I just received my results and placed 13th on our list and should have my promotion by this summer! I know without a doubt that your suggestions as well as the coaching I received was beneficial and helped to "separate" me from some of the others. I also found out that within the top thirteen at least five other individuals had found out about and used your software (although not from me!!). I also know that one of my raters was very familiar with the "nuggets" concept, as he stopped what he was writing, looked directly at me, smiled, and once I was done with my "nugget" he continued on with his writing. We BOTH knew, that I had just successfully used a "nugget"! Thanks again, Jeff Wait! While you're

http://www.eatstress.com/promointro.htm Dear Capt. Rob, I just wanted to tell you that my dreams have come true and I received an offer from the department I've been trying to get into. Thank you so much for all your help and guidance! I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you! Sincerely, Jeff Seattle, WA I got "the call" two weeks ago from a major department in Arizona. I'm extremely excited, and the ability to "really" enjoy the holidays was amazing. I owe a thank you to CaptBob - a great investment for me. I just wanted to say thank you to Capt. Bob for all the advice. I just received my first conditional job offer for the Newport News Fire Department. I will start the academy in mid January. Once again thanks to everyone who has given me advice over the years. I wont forget where I came from. Been a vol for just about six years now and the thought and finally making this my profession is extremely exciting. Once again thanks to all and stay safe. Age 39 and just got hired. Life experience counts for something. Do your self a favor and read everything that Capt Bob is willing to share at www.eatstress.com Bob, I don't know if you will remember me, but you and I exchanged numerous e-mails after I purchased your program.
