    Just check the post and there was a letter for my wife none for me. Not sure if that was delivered yesterday or if the postman is has not been today yet. who knows.

    Anyway my prediction is i might scrape on to the panel. Just didnt have as much passion for the role as the Fire Fighter and didnt put as much of an effort or dedication in to the study knowing im on the other panel and due in the next class.

    My postman is normally here by now too. Surely if HR were correct in what they said to me someone must have their letters by now!! Going to be a painful weekend by the looks of it.

    Rang myslef. and No joy!! not overly surprised. I really didnt put the work or effort in to this interview that i put in to the Firefighter Role knowing i was on the Firefighter Panel. and it obviously showed. The very best of luck to the lads that made it. hopefully see you all soon in the OBI (Or wreckin my head with the calls when im on the Ambulance :P )

    To the lads that didnt get it. I know you feel your word is over but its not. Destress over the weekend and get back to the drawing board and see where you can improve. improve in the areas needed and knock it out of the park next time. one of the traits of being in the emergency services is resilience, the ability to bounce back from a situation. You are now living future material for interview questions. "Can you give us an example of a time when you hat to take feedback or criticism?" or "Can you tell me how you prepared for today" those and more questions can be answered by what you do from now on.

    Best of Luck to all!

    To be honest I think even if you did a brilliant interview I think they would have struggled to pass anyone who was already on firefighter panel. If you passed that one you should have easily met the criteria for this one whether you studied or not. I personally think competency interviews are utter ****e, you can spout out a very applicable example and score high and your through!!!! Is that all that is required to be a fireman?! What about life experience, cv, attitude, your persona, your appearance, your age, your manner etc. It almost feels like all of that is put aside and they simply score you on what you say!!! A Third Officer had his son and daughter do the interview too and guess what they are on the panel. While some of it is merit based a lot of it remains nods and winks.
