    Maybe they are looking for clean canvas so to speak ? fellas they can mould into their way of thinking? No disrespect to the lad and yes in the grand scheme of things experience is key but just going on past experiences sometimes it doesnt get taken into account which in itself is strange

    Dave087 either your talking b*^&%^s or somebody else is using your account because I just checked your previous posts and you my friend are not a fireman. You seem to be on the DFB controller panel...


    interesting...

    Yeah. I doubt that too. Nearly a qualified emt too. But I put that down on it aswell. It's to do with the tests. Wouldn't be the cv at this stage.

    . I am actually a firefighter outside of dublin. Did that ever occur to you? Your profile name must match your personality 'my friend'. No need to jump the gun like that!!

    Really struggled with the maths part of the aptitude don't feel confident about that at all.. Don't rely too much on the practice tests either because the sums were a lot bigger on the actual test

    What's the big deal with that? Keep a calculator beside you - be grand.

    I emailed them there and told them 3 of us sat around and had all the same answers. The other 2 got emails and I didnt. Will see what they say....


    Did you hear anything back ??

    from what I've heard from other ppl that have applied and from what I've read here it seems there has been an issue with some ppls applications and are still in the process of stage one still.... Maybe some ppl have been delayed advancing to stage two in order to facilitate these ppl.
    Dont quote me on this though...pure speculation at this stage .
