Quick Tip

==========================================

Whistling in the Dark

My Grandson’s Gavin age 7 and his younger brother Keaton age 5 were over the other day.  Keaton was trying to imitate his brother who is learning how to whistle. It was funny to watch them compete.  Keaton was fudging a little trying to make a voice sound like whistling.  He eventually was able to whistle sucking in. 

Remember when you leaned how to whistle?  Some kids picked it up faster than others. What made the difference?  I addition to some natural ability, it took practice to the point where it became second nature to you.  Some get to the point where they could put out a loud whistle that could stop a taxi. Once you had it down you could just whistle without thinking about it.

I thought this is the same thing about learning a skill set for oral boards that could dramatically improve your chances of gaining your badge.  Then you practice, practice, practices with a recorder and over learn the skill like learning how to whistle until it becomes second nature to you.  After practicing, you will get to a point where your answers will get into your subconscious. That’s where the magic begins. Practice makes permanent. “Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.” Then without even thinking in an oral board your answers will just flow out like calling up whistling to stun the oral board into giving you the badge over the competition.  Just like whistling in the dark.

This is why:

Capt Bob has a great program... IF... you do what he says.

I've been an evaluator on several entry-level oral boards. There are a lot of people that come in the room thinking they know it all. They seem to give the same answers as just about everyone else. Not even their experience and certs can make up for their boring, unoriginal answers.

Sitting on an oral board is boring at times. The guys at the top of our lists gave personal answers that drew us to them. Capt Bob covers a lot of this in his program. I ended up working at the same house as the #1 candidate, and he told me that he used Capt Bob's program.  Gary

Here’s one candidate that just turned it around:

“I am so thankful that I finally wised up after all these years and used your program.”

Capt. Bob,

After taking over 20 tests during the past 9 years, I finally landed my dream job. I am writing to thank you and Capt. Rob for helping me. Your system is absolutely 100% effective. It is by far the best investment I have ever made. It gave me a huge advantage over the other candidates. When I walked out of my chief’s interview I was sure that I had nailed it. It was a feeling that I had never felt before. I thought to myself, “This isn’t even fair to the other candidates.” I am so thankful that I finally wised up after all these years and used your program. To anyone out there who is wondering if it works or if it’s worth it, I’m living proof that it is. If you want to be a firefighter, learn this method. You will succeed. Don’t learn the hard way like me by waiting so long to try it. Do it now. Please add me to your list of badges. Thank you.  James.

Reply: James, Bravo! Congrats on the success in gaining your badge!  Thank you for sharing your journey and letting us be part of your pursuit. We hereby bestow upon you badge number 2,445 in our program.  You have proved once again that our program works.

There is a badge out there for you too.  You just haven’t seen it yet.  You can use the same program as James used to get his badge now with our best bargain ever here: http://www.eatstress.com/special_offer.htm

I know there are times in the pursuit of a firefighter position when candidates have doubts if they’re going to make it especially after not being successful after several attempts.  I know some get bummed along the way. Sometimes candidates get stuck in the journey trying to gain their badges.  Candidates who get this far in the process usually get discouraged and tell me they feel like they have hit a wall. They don't know what to do next. Some of their friends (with fewer credentials) have been hired. They're frustrated and embarrassed. They often can go in too many directions at once, become overwhelmed, discouraged, and pretty soon could lose interest, be considered a part time hobbyist and NOT a serious candidate.

Like James above, many believe it takes quite a while to get firmly entrenched in the testing process and get a solid presentation going. That’s only if you don’t have the skills to know what you’re doing. The longer you wait, the further behind you’ll be and you may never catch your competition. The time to start learning is now. Each day you delay is costing you valuable time and money.
