So Why Do You Want To Become A Firefighter?

Written by Battalion Chief Michael Keefe

Consider this when preparing for your next interview. You should already know most of this.

There are questions you can ask. Let's take a closer look at this. Most interviews average approximately 30 minutes and consist of a total of 5 to 7 questions. Be sure to ask for a general "tell me about yourself" question, some probing questions, situational questions, and maybe even questions.

Last question. Opening questions include, "Why do you want to be a firefighter?" "What did you do to prepare to become a firefighter?" or "Why do you think you would be a good firefighter?" There may be cases.

Your answers to these "Tell me about yourself" questions form your opening statement and set the tone for the interview. To create your opening statement, you need to spend time crafting the elements you want to include. Your opening statement will definitely be your most persuasive answer to the interview. Trust me, the interview panel members are waiting for something real and meaningful to come out of your mouth. Your opening statement should be calming and powerful. A strong opening statement strategically describes your background, highlighting your education, work experience, fire experience, community service work, and significant events in your life experience. Start by making a list of the words that best describe who you are and what life experiences exemplify your character and determination. This introductory sentence should be practiced many times until it flows naturally. It needs to be concise yet packed with key elements that define and differentiate you.

From other people. Some candidates focus on firefighting experience, while others focus on specialized experience. The best answers follow a logical sequence of events and include personal experiences, difficult or life-shaping events, character-forming situations, significant professional experiences, education, and important relevant training. Masu.

The interview is your only chance to talk about your footprint in life, who you are, and why we want you to join our team for the next 30 years. Successful candidates often don't have great resumes, but they can clearly communicate who they are and why they work harder than others.
