Smoke Your Firefighter Interview - Strengthening Your Approach to The Fire Department Interview | 360 pages | Written by Division Chief, Paul Lepore, For Aspiring Firefighters - 5th Edition
Â
This is a 360-page book containing over 100 of the most commonly asked Fire Department Oral Interview questions, THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR EACH QUESTION, followed by why it's the correct answer. Other books provide a list of questions, but do not provide guidance on how to answer them. Those that do provide answers only have a fraction of the number of questions and answers.
Â
Our question, answer, and reasoning format will give you a clear understanding of how to answer each question that you will encounter during your interview. You will understand the oral interview from the perspective of the Chief Officers who are conducting the interview and scoring you as a potential firefighter.
Â
This book prepares you for the firefighter interview process by giving you the unique insight to see yourself through the eyes of the raters. By the end, you will be guaranteed to understand exactly how you are being scored. More importantly, you will understand how to completely answer the types of questions (oftentimes the exact questions) that you will encounter on your fire department interview. Since it is often weighted 100% of the candidates final score, earning a high score on the interview is essential to you getting hired.
Â
Do not be fooled by authors who try to convince you that a book written by a Chief Officer is somewhat out of touch. The reality is that Chief Officers are the ones on the front lines when it comes to new testing methodology and developing new firefighter interview questions and processes.
Â
To be clear, it is Chief Officers who develop the exams, sit on the interview panels, decide on each candidates's score, and ultimately decide who to offer the badge to. But don't take our word for it, check out the testimonials below:
