[DFB] Temporary Emergency Services Controller

Yeah I went for DFB. I was 30 places out from getting called for an interview.... I gave both my best shot, DFB and control room tests, so thats all I can ask of myself.

I told/ keep telling myself, that I went down on point scoring on the fire safety awarness part of the test. As in, a couple of millimeters on the answers I gave could of getting me a call for an interview... as the song goes "que sera sera"

Would love to get called for the control room now obviously. I felt I grew in confidence with my typing as the test went on so hopefully my score will be good enough to get me the interview...


What was the interview like ? How many people on the panel interviewed you ?
How did you find the control room test yourself ?

The wait is killing me! Hopefully we hear something this week!

Woo! Top 60!

I wonder how many people applied.

Not sure got in the top 100 so will be waiting on next stage.

well the way the firefighter roll went was results from stage 1 were released 21/12/2015 invitation to stage 2 was released on 05/01/2016. people who were successful were invited forward but people who qualified but did not get through were told nothing on 05/01/2016 but instead a few days later got an email telling them they were not being considered any further

Panel will likely be small on this, IIRC the last controller panel was only about 50 with close to 30 jobs at the time.

Not fully sure on how many they are looking to take through but possibly the same again if the previous 30 or so from the last recruitment have progressed to FF with the current classes.

So possibly 250 supervised, 150 interviewed, panel of 50 at a rough guess

have to agree, i would assume about 250 to stage 2

Thats great news (hopefully) TJ Hooker

I had to ring p.a.s, I was told that who ever got through in order of merit will be called to the second stage. We should be getting word next week with further info..
Hope this helps.

just to note lads, even if you get no 1 one in Order Of Merritt (OOM) i means nothing in the next round. you start again unless you drop more than 20% then you will be discounted from the process, After that if you get in to interview you will be assigned a random number and the panel will not know where you came.

point being dont get too hung up on how high or low you come. as long as you get to interview the playingfield is open to all,

Is the test the same again dose anyone know?

Id expect your previous tests again for verification and then another 2/3 at least added in. Last time around it was observation x 2 and a numeracy based one (air time) in addition to the first set of online tests. The additional tests is where they will most likely cut down on the numbers
