    Did they specify numbers when anyone was talking to them?

    Nope. That seems to be kept quiet so far. Obviously determined by budget and panel quality

    Opinion has a place in any type of interview.


    Unless it's an interview for a position of a robot

    Can't type for crap on my phone.

    In my opinion, personal opinion doesnt have much of a place to prove if you are competent at a skill or not. I.e my opinion on the dfb vs hse shouldnt matter, or what is better day time or night time. what does that have to do with my ability to do a job well.

    You're not being interviewed to assess your ability. As a NAS paramedic, you clearly have ability. You are being interview to see if the s/o thinks you will fit in.

    You can say what questions you were asked, if you scroll back a few pages you'll see everyone elses questions

    Ehhhhhhh.... you need to be able to fit in and get on well with co workers. That's as much down to personality as ability. Both traits have a place in selection of candidates for any job

    The reality is their are plenty of firemen who dislike each other alot on the same watch. But when those bells go they are all on the same page.

    The reality is that it's not pleasant coming to work with people you actively dislike whether you can function or not.


    Nobody is ever best buddies with all their workmates but actively hating each other is generally not the norm.

    Haha can you imagine a panel waiting for you to leave the room, talking about how unlikeable you are then hiring you anyway.

    I would say that will remain a mystery for good reasons! Could be the Vatican for all we know.
