Not Enough!

You are doing everything you can to get the job of your dreams.  You try and take every test and class that comes up.  There is only one problem, you still have to eat, pay rent, and put gas in your car.

I have talked to a lot of people who have employers who don’t know they are testing.  They sneak out of work, call in sick, and lie to get to the tests.  Remember at some point your employer will be contacted to find out what kind of employee you have been.

Try to find a job that is flexible, be up front and ask if there is any way you can set up a special way to get time off for testing and classes if you still get your work done.  You may have to settle for less pay, but if you get hired a year earlier would it be worth it?

Another possibility is to find a firefighter with a side business, there are quite a few.  That way you could work for someone who understands, and can maybe help you with testing skills.  Also, most side businesses are of a construction nature, which would help you with demonstrating knowledge of building construction.

It’s not always going to be easy, but remember your goal and keep your head up.
