回答这一讨论

绝对是EMT，此后，请联系您当地的公务员委员会或消防部门，以了解他们何时为消防员提供新的测试。他们是一些很好的学习指南，以便他为测试做好准备，我建议您从Half.com或eBay等网站上获取他们，通常可以以1个新的价格找到十几个不同的。获得高分对于下一步至关重要。您可能还想搜索“ CPAT”，以便您可以看到他的期望，并可以开始为此训练。全国各地的许多部门都采用了新兵的CPAT，以确保他们可以完成这项工作。您居住的城镇，城市或州可能无法识别CPAT，并且可能需要自己的身体敏捷性测试，您将想了解。
It would be beneficial for him to drop by a station and ask some of these questions in person, not only to get his face into peoples heads but to get definite answers to some of these questions. Every state is different so asking the local dept is your best bet. Take care and good luck

Thanks so much for the guidance. I will pass this info on to my son. One other thing it was also suggested that he become a volunteer firefighter, what do you think about that? Also does it matter where you get your training? We live outside of St. Louis Missouri.

最近，我被安克雷奇消防局雇用，我当然不是招聘过程中的专家，但是我指出的最好的资源是消防队长鲍勃。www.eatsress.com- 您可以在该站点找到他的所有学习指南。祝你好运。

Its definitely not a bad idea, that way he can make sure that its work he wants to do for the rest of his life. I was a volunteer for years before I got my job. Weather it helped me or not who knows there is two sides of the coin their. Some people believe that the experience is good where others believe that in a carer dept they will want to train you with a clean slate. Personally I think its a good idea that wont hurt him in his resume. Not to mention the volunteer dept might pay for his emt for him so thats a bonus.

Becoming an EMT will definitely help him in getting a paid position. You/he may also want to check out your local fire departments some may offer an Explorer Program through the Boy Scouts that will allow him to join now while in high school. This would allow him to get a taste of what it is like so he will know if firefighting is for him; he may find out he prefers the medical side of things. Most volunteer fire departments in my area accept new members at age 18 and some accept junior members at 16. Good luck and I hope it works out for him.

In many states, vets go right to the top of the list. In NJ, if you want the job, you had best be in the military and serve abroad. We have over 100 people on the top of our list that are all vets. I think the first non-vet person is about 170 on the list. Sign of the times

The volunteer angle might work well depending on where you live. Many combination departments – having both volunteer and career positions – hire from within their own ranks. Not that it is a guarantee but it gives a candidate an opportunity to show what he/she is made of – how dedicated they are to the job, their brothers/sisters and what kind of “love for the job” they have. It is also a great opportunity to see if the job is really what they want…and in some cases, he might make good money being a volunteer. Some departments use the term Paid On Call (POC) – their “volunteers” are paid for every hour of service – including training. I know of POCs making $20,000+ a year.

I also agree with the post about EMT school – that certainly gives one a leg up on the competition. If he is looking to join a department that provided emergency medical services (EMS), tell him not to stop at EMT – get his paramedic certification – that is the single most important thing to me (we provide EMS and having someone come in the door as a Paramedic is VALUABLE!) . In my part of the country we have a hard time recruiting firefighter/paramedics.

消防科学学位可能会有所帮助，但我个人认为首先获得消防员认证是一种更好的方法。该度可以在以后获得。

最后一件事 - 告诉他捍卫自己的声誉。消防社区188金博网网址多少很接近，很难动摇不良的代表……包括驾驶记录！我知道有几个“伟大”候选人由于可怕的驾驶记录而无法被录用。

Good luck

杰瑞

The military is a great place to start. The other option is to check into student live in programs as well. I lived in a fire house in Rockville in MD. They take care of college, training and room and board. It was the best thing I did. He would also be net working with firefighters from around the US.
