Fire Dept. Interview(ish)

[takl23]

Hey All,

I got a letter from a small local dept. after sending my resume/credentials, etc. The letter requests for me to meet with the chief at 7:00pm next week. Question is, what attire is proper? I have a full time job in finance so I know how to dress business professional. For one private EMS interview they request business casual.

My first thought was suit and no tie. Maybe it's the time of the interview that's throwing me off? I feel like this should be so difficult :blink:

volunteer or paid member?

Volunteer - Business casual will be fine, hell khakis and a nice shirt would be fine.

Professional - Look professional, Business professional can't top it. If your a little overdressed it is what it is

What he said. Better to over do it than under do it.

 

[takl23]

It is a paid dept. but like I mentioned small town less than 6,000 people. I think full suit will be the way to go.

 

[SandpitMedic]

Do it to it buddy. Good luck.

 

[sweetpete]

Definitely a full suit and tie. Go easy on the cologne.

Best wishes buddy!!

How did it go?

Interview is this evening. I am hoping for good things! I do currently have a gig with a private so this is a bonus. I'll put my best foot forward and all that but the pressure is off which is nice.

Interview went very well, probably won't be the best fit as they are primarily a call dept. and I live just over 10 minutes away. Thanks everyone for the tips!

Glad to hear you did well.
