When they ask you about rule G they want to see how many you can remember, believe I said them all, also they don’t have to be verbatim..lol then questions about team work, job description, causalities (they want to know if you can deal with it well and come to work after a accident) if you go back on this forum someone posted up some questions they they may ask you, I remember hearing 95% of those questions I’ll try to find the page number. I went through the whole 38 pages of the forum and came across those questions who ever posted that thanks very helpful, they also mentioned a class starts every 3 months so I’m guessing sometime in the summer what step are you on? @CarlosMQ I’m on same step as you...going to keep up to date with the material 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get past the cognitive test and make it to an interview, it shows the interviewer that you cared enough about the job to dress up. I was shocked at how many people showed up in T Shirts and jeans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hard, but can be tricky. Also, you probably won’t finish each part. I only finished 1 of 3 parts and still passed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
republic Posted June 1, 2018 Share #998 Posted June 1, 2018 I also passed the exams and got the interview. There were so many candidates! I was terrified when they started calling names and mine wasn't mentioned, but those were the candidates who were dismissed. The interview went well and the interviewer told me to watch my inbox for an S&D invite. Was that a standard line or was I being told that I'm moving on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsunflyguy Posted June 1, 2018 Share #999 Posted June 1, 2018 Same, names were running low when I got the interview. I started wondering If I was called for the Execution Squad and missed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
