Passed 3 oral board interviews Think something this video should add is to sell yourself too. Make sure you somehow word your work experience to align with the departments values and mission statement. And whenever I answered a question, I always referenced back to the mission statement and department values, and also mentioned the city’s problems and how I can help contribute to mitigating it. You’ll sound like a broken record but I was congratulated all 3 times in 3 different departments saying I came prepared lol. Now onto the hard part 🥲 poly and background shit. If I don’t get hired in the end I’ll just keep trying

Just passed my oral board wanted to pass along helpful Information because I needed it when I was preparing. #1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to work for this department. That starts the interview off, have something short but effective to say here. A few other situational questions involving stress, integrity, deadly force. It is nerve wrecking sitting across from 3 high ranking officers but if you have any life experience use it to your advantage and make it fit the questions.

@ReaArtistique Someone possessing integrity would imply that they would arrest their mother. They'd arrest her because they're obligated to if she commits an arrestable offense. I'd definitely arrest my mother. What my job stops where family is involved? To uphold and enforce the law? Nah. The law applies to my mother just as much as anyone else. By saying you wouldn't arrest your mother, you're saying that there is a line where you stop doing your duty. That's my mentality anyway.

I noticed something.. during an interview of Brenda Spencer in 90s her eyes kinda did a swoosh. Not like darting from side to side, or just moving eyes from left to right an back at interviewer. It was like a subtle smooth upward half an o with tail off. I think that was the imagination of an attack. Im not a mind reader, I can't know for sure.. I know nothing about that whole situation. Terrible things like that happen but if this suble eye movement can be linked to people whove been proven to have killed maybe a link formed. Theory. Thoughts?
If you were done with your interview in 10 minutes is that a bad sign?

I would confront them. I had in the past, some friends who will take things and I would simply ask them “did you pay for that?” “Is that yours?”. They would at first ignore and joke about, but next time they see me while grabbing something, they seem to be more reluctant. It may sound like a tattletale story, but why would you feel bad or nervous about telling them something? If it’s your partner, then would you want someone who is honest, true to their mission, and someone you can trust?

steve I had a "black" mark too but I wouldnt give up. went to an incredible number of interviews and got turned down. I used these failed interviews as practice and a learning experience and was able to determine what to say, not to say and what things to keep out of the picture. It was a long haul but it got easier with time. Eventually I was passing and moving on to the other testing requirements, did my 20 yrs, ret and went on to the Feds. the review boards tell you to be honest. when you are they then use that honesty against you. They want to find candidates that are squeaky clean so the persons lifestyle wont come back to haunt the police organization. Some Depts are self righteous and some are like yourself and know you're just human. You have to find that fit. I sat on some review boards and I always remembered where I came from with people like you and I. They have loosened the requirements today In a lot of areas and the new generations coming in are already indoctrinated for the reset of the planet. glad I served, glad im out and I would never do it again. sorry you went through this. Like any organization, you need only 1 self righteous scumbag to ruin your dream. To this day I remember all that stopped me. I hate them still.
Is it OK to fart and than blame it on the prior interviewee? Also, do candidates give or get oral?
