[DFB] Temporary Emergency Services Controller

doggy2005

Hey Guys,

prepared myself as best I could for the last part of the test (observation test) applied for DFB back in '03 and it was exact same video we were shown back then, did test yesterday in PAS office..but was talking to a mate after I did tests, (He's a Sub in HQ Townsend St, and was saying we could very well get the jobs as controller if successful, but NO guarantee of becoming firefighter at the end of the 3 years (actualy said it looks unlikely, dont wanna burst anyones bubble but that came from a mate whos a sub office in Townsend St,) I'm still going to go thru with it

and to point of how unreliable hear say is, i was told the exact oppasite this week saying you could be out of the control room after a yesr or two. (which is not gospel just pointing out how crazy the rumor mill is)

what im doing is not paying attention to any of it until i have a contract in hand

How did everyone find the retests and content as a whole?Observation the hardest?
Presume they can be talked about with them now finished?

thatboy

I heard exact same as go pro.........observation was def hardest. Little twist in numerical reasoning too.

Sf191

Ye the twist in the numerical was sneaky . Did anybody not cop it .

david-d

please tell me the twist was the halfing of the minutes left, otherwise david-d is in a spot of bother

david-d

also i heard the usual "once you get into these places your in for life" but if i got a position i woundn't start counting chickens

Sf191

Can't exactly remember what way the questions were done but It was something like that from question 6 or so

Me too. Big time!!
At this stage I just want to know. Put me out of my misery please. I am thinking it may be around close of business today. Last time it was around 5 on the Wednesday so with less people this time it may be a little earlier.

Kablamo!

Any time I get an email my heart stops. Could happily strangle whoever invented deal rush!!!

Sorry about that
Can I ask why are you expecting the email in the next 20 mins? Are the results definitely today?

Lol. Its fine.
No there is no know date for the results but I'm hoping it will be today. Last results were on a Wednesday @ 5 and with less results to process I'm just hoping it will be today. Could realistically be another week or more though.
