How To Excel At Fire Department Promotional Exams!

Getting promoted in the fire service is not an easy process. Many people have that desire to promote, but for whatever reason cannot put the pieces together to make it a reality. Over the 20 plus years I have been in the fire service, I have had the opportunity to be on both sides of the promotional process - as a candidate, and as a rater, proctor and test developer. This book will assist fire department promotional candidates specifically prepare for their next promotional exam.

 

Promotional candidates will be exposed to and offered key points for the most common tasks and events within a fire department promotional process including but not limited to: promotional preparation, completing the application, resume preparation, the written exam, the oral interview, the personnel problem, the oral presentation, and the emergency simulation.
