SAMFS / Re: RECRUITMENT 2011
« on: June 09, 2011, 05:40:30 PM »Well, how did the interviews go? Come out thinking "How the filtered are they gonna compare and rank us from that?"
Not well! I couldn't sleep the night before so walked into the interview dog tired. Interview was over in 35 minutes so felt like I did not give enough detail in my answers and felt a little under prepared. I would say detailed and conscise answers would play a big part in the ranking. Will be surprised if I make it through but good experience none the less.

Pretty sure they will want to cab rank about 100 so will interview 150. Never heard of anyone failing the pat2 twice so very rare that this knocks anyone out. Very hard for MFS to calculate how many they need until people notify them of retiring. Just make sure you prepare for the interview, study up like it is an exam.

Hi Ferret - can you offer any guidance on what we should know before going into the interview?

Hi Lads,
Thanks, as hotfire says all these little tips are helpful. Just a question on the basic arithmetic and numeracy test - does the test include questions on long division and long multiplication? Or is it just basic mental arithmetic?
Now let's see if I can help some of you guys - I came across a Fire Service Recuitment Preparation Guide titled "Forced Entry". It cost $25 but well worth a read and has links to numerous websites with practice questions. Here is the link to purchase:

Good luck to all!

Lads,
Received my invitation to the Personality Profiling (PP) and Firefighter Abilities (FA) Test after PAT 1 today. The testing goes for a total of 5 hours! Can anyone tell me the split of time between PP and FA? Also, with FA what are the approximate time splits between Writing Ability Test, Basic Arithmetic & Numeracy Test and Reading & Reasoning Ability Test? Any information greatly appreciated.
