SA Firefighter

I can’t answer this one. Call HR and ask. There were a number of people unable to complete the PAT1 the first time round due to illness who were invited to run this time. It could be that their scores were higher.

Complete it or attempt it?

Has anyone from the second lot of beep testing received an invite for an interview?

I know of a few who have.

I'd guess they finish this week and back early/mid January. No rush with first squad selected already

Maybe they just want a larger pool so they can be more selective. The current drill squad had a couple not make it to the end so they may want to widen the gene pool a bit. Unless there is a rush of retirements there would be no need to run two squads at once. I don't think they can anyway now doing 24 per squad

I haven't personally had any dealings with Fire Recruitment Australia but I have heard from a couple of serving fire-fighters that the guy is a bit of a clown, so I wouldn't give to much credence to anything he says.

He is a boof head. Trying to make some cash out of applicants desperation. He is never accurate with when applications will open. He probably saw a few comment on here about mid year.

Anyone who had interview hear back yet?

Fact 1: last recruitment campaign, a potential recruit failed the Pat 2 by way of dropping the dummy in the casualty rescue task.

Fact 2: That same recruit was given another chance to contest the Pat 2 after their Station Officer father got involved.

Fact 3: That individual passed the second attempt and is now a serving firefighter!!!

But “We don’t assist anyone during their Pat 2” Bull...t

Ask your source all the facts....

In the past they have only interviewed enough for 1 or 2 squads at a time.

. I take this to mean that everyone who was identified as "suitable" from the profile testing would get a chance to progress to the next stage (PAT 1 and interview) as requirements for more drill squads dictate i.e. it is only a matter of time

Wishful thinking. They could potentially get enough for 6 squads from the 150-200 they have invited to the beep. From this forum and some mates who got the stay fit letters I'm guessing there's a few hundred on the suitable list.

As far as I am aware NT have either a pass or fail and all who pass move to the next round whereas SA have a pass or fail but also rank and only take the top 150 who pass

But they may take more later for future squads. They took 6 squads out of last batch. Plenty will fail beep and interview so I'd say there will be another call for beep tests next year.
Keep in mind there is allso a massive push for diversity...

They will take everyone who is deemed suitable through to the pat1, will be a lot more than 200. They will then select those who to interview based on the results of personality and abilities. Well this is what happened last time I think

Yeah found it quite draining also , just don’t understand how they seperate thousands of applicants by the personality testing seems fairly straight forward unless you strongly agree that asians run the country or say you have experimented with drugs before. haha oh well now the nervous wait good luck to all

Having experimented with drugs won't cause you to not progress. There is questions in there that are alerts so  if you say no to too many of them it flags that you may be manipulating your answers because you appear to never have made a mistake or experimented.

Yea I have mine this Friday as well, good luck. Did they let you know what you had troubles on? Im wondering how much of the actual test is based on maths and english compared to personality/psych, what was it like last time?

80% personality. No results given from psych testing. I think I remember signing something saying results remain property of MFS or the psych provider.
