Helpful fire job listing websites...

I have been looking around a lot for job listings. The best resource is the Internet.

There are so many place to look, so where do you start? Here are the websites I am currently using to find jobs both locally and nationally. I hope these help you out some... they have helped me a TON!


911 Hot Jobs - Very cool website that has many job listings... they also sell resources for interviews, tests and all sorts of other great resources. They also have, from time to time, free products when you sign up, like test question books, how to guides and much more.
Fire Recruit - This is an awesome website. There are so many job listings in here... they also have some awesome resources on oral interviews including common questions, and more.
CPAT Test - CA firefighters only
Fire Hire - Website dedicated to the Fire Hire test and the jobs associated with it.
Firehouse.com - Many many job listings, as well as forums, news, pictures... basically anything you could want is there.

Yes, you may have noticed that some of these sites require a monthly charge, its minimal but its so worth is... just do it!

Where have I been?!...

That's a great question. Well I have been very busy indeed. Where do I start...?

Well I had an interview with a department about an hour and a half of where I live. I received a 96% on my oral interview (which was awesome by the way), but I only score an 79% on the written exam... which when added together didn't give me high enough standing to get one of the initial positions available but it did put me number 22 on the hiring list for the next 2 years.

What did I get out of this? Well I got the experience of yet another interview process, which showed me that I am getting better at them (98%!!). Plus I got on a hiring list. In my opinion it was a success.

But that was a few months ago, where have you been lately? Well, I also got on as an intern for a department near me as well. I haven't started yet but I will be working my first shift on the 9th or next month. I already have all my gear and am waiting for the patches to get sown on my dress shirt and I will be ready to get started. I am so excited.

Its been 6 months since the academy, that I have done any fire related training, so it will be good to get back into it again finally.

I will hopefully keep posting again, and will keep you all updated on the new happenings.
