Anybody do FSO testing?
Looking to apply for Niagara, St Catharines, Hamilton, Burlington and Mississauga. I went on the website and cannot find a way to register for any dates for the rest of the year? Is this a normal or do I have to wait for them to post more testing dates does anyone, have any experience with FSO? Looking to have everything done by mid summer/early fall. I emailed them for more information, but I appreciate any extra advice or information that any of you guys have! 👨🏻🚒🔥 Feel free to comment or message me on Instagram just so I don’t flood everyone with notifications lol Maxwellr.97 Thanks!

@Rob Maxwell yea normally they give a date to have all the testing completed by. If I recall correctly from the posting until the testing has to be done is normally about 6-8 weeks. But the test dates can fill up fast, so definitely keep your eye on the job boards! I always found it better to sign up as soon as possible, that way I could make sure my schedule leading up allowed me to study and prep for the physical testing. Have you ever done the CPAT before?

@Rob Maxwell exactly! When you go to apply they’ll have a list of what you need to bring to your FSO testing (usually cover letter, resume, copy of your NFPA 1001, copy of your DZ etc.). Then you’ll take all your testing in one day, and that will get submitted along with your other documents to the department! There’s some great info on the FSO website for how to train and prep for CPAT, but you can also find a ton of videos of it online! If you’ve got any other questions feel free to ask!

Resume Builder?
Hey everyone, wondering what the best company or who to reach out to help structure a resume? I’ve heard of Kate Mowat, recommended from FESTI I’ve also heard of many people using Fire Recruitment I believe, correct me if I’m wrong! Any recommendations? I won’t be needing this as I don’t think I’ll be applying until Mid summer/fall after I finish my EMR, but if there is a waitlist, I might possibly reach out sooner in state that EMR will be completed at said date Thanks! 🚒

I used Firerecruitment for mine! It gave a pretty solid update for my first applications to departments. I did find that as I applied to more departments I made changes and tweaked it to really showcase skills that different departments put an emphasis on.

Welland Firefighters?
Any Welland firefighters here? Or anyone who has interviewed there? I’d love to know some info! Are most interviews the same style? I have interviewed previously but have never for Welland.

Hey @Jordan Ford, I interviewed once for Welland about 2 years ago now. Only made it through first round interviews, but they were pretty similar to others I’d had in the past. The interview was full of the typical questions where your answers are based on your previous job experiences. Hope that helps a bit!
