Quick Tip
==========================================
And the badge goes to?
I stress the importance of preparing for your oral board interview for a
seamless no surprises presentation that will get you a top score and a
shot at a badge. Many don’t know what goes on behind the scoring scene
during and after your interview. I hope these recent e-mails will shed
some light.
Capt Bob,
I just finished taking the oral interview with LA City and wanted to
write a quick note.
First I want to thank you for the information and tools that you have
supplied me with in your Gold Package Program
http://www.eatstress.com/goldpackage.htm It worked I scored a 90 and
have a background scheduled.
As you have said before oral board is the most important step in the
process and the step that is least prepared for. Well I can support
your statement. As I watched the recording of my score (reading upside
down) I noticed 60's and 70's on the scores of those that interviewed
before me. I would assume there were about 25 names on the sheet prior
to mine. Again the methods you teach do work. Thanks again for your
help Rich
It gets better:
Capt. Bob,
Your tips have really helped. I have realized that the oral board really
is the make or break point. The test here in Seattle went like this.
The written was a pass/fail, over 88% and you moved on. But, the oral
board was done in 2 sessions and was your SCORE. What you scored on
those 2 oral board sessions was where you were placed on the list. I
contacted the division that does the scoring and was shocked to hear how
people do. The average score to move on for the first oral board was
56%!!! A 56% percent is what people got to move on. 700 of us made it
here and 300 moved on. That tells me that 400 got less than a 56%.
Getting an 80%-85% put you from number 20-50. Amazing to me the scores,
telling me you are so right, people do not prepare for this. One of my
friends got a 62% of the first, then looked at your information, just
what you had on the internet, used the nuggets and told some personal
stories. He got a 92% on his second interview, not doing the tape
recorder to improve, just reading your website on things to do, imagine
if he did order your package and worked on it that 92% could have been
hire, and imagine if he did that on the first oral board. He would
easily be in the top 20, if not the top 10.
Just wanted to let you know how important your package is. I have
already spent hours preparing my package and not nearly finished. It is
something that needs to be taken serious, so again thank you for your
package. Thank you in advance, James
Another:
I had an opportunity to meet a high ranking Chief for the LAFD and he
congratulated me on passing my oral and told me that only 3% of the
people that take the oral will move forward.
100 = 3
1,000 = 30
10,000 = 300
I thought this would open a few eyes, especially the ones who say; oh I
will just wing it! The individuals moving forward in the process are
prepared big time, they are married to a recorder, checking themselves
out in the mirror and doing whatever it takes. I wonder what the
statistics are for the individual who wings it?
Take Care, Carl
So the ball is in your court. How are you going to field it?
