Testimonials

"Thank you for your help with my interviews. I had one session with you last summer and learned so much. You gave me insight into being successful. Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services recently hired me. MFES, if you remember, is where I am from and my dream department. I owe so much to you and your services, and I could not have accomplished my dream without your help. I’ve recommended your services to many friends and hope for the best in the future."

"Hey Shawn, Happy Holidays to you and your family! I received a call from Sarnia about a job offer! After I send in my medical and driver’s abstract, I’ll receive my start date! I’ll keep you posted! Thank you for all your help; I appreciate it!"

Bill Paul

Student Review

"Hello Shawn, I’m just emailing you to thank you for all the help you provided me when we had our mock interview in October (2013). On Wednesday, I received my conditional offer from the city of Hamilton. The Mock interview and the information from your website allowed me to be very prepared for my second interview. All my hard work leading to this point has finally paid off, and I appreciate everything you have done for me. I was going to give you a call, but I know how busy your schedule is, so I decided to email you. I have recommended you to everyone I know who shares my goal. It made a difference, and I cannot thank you enough."

Trevor

"Hey Shawn, the Interview went awesome. I'd like to thank you for all the great advice and help! I learned a lot, and I was successful in the interview. My friend that you helped also succeeded at the recruiting table and is eating lunch at NFFD right now! Over the moon stoked to be here! I’ve been recommending you since I got through the interview. I attribute a good share of my success to your help. Thanks a million."

"Hi Shawn, I sought out your help in preparing for an interview. I was chosen as one of 17 recruits with Vaughan Fire & Rescue Service! Today marked the beginning of my 5th week of training.  I am so grateful for your advice and help. While I initially contacted you regarding an interview for the Kitchener FD, your advice and tips were spot on, and after I had a few interviews under my belt over the summer, it all paid off with Vaughan."

Victoria

The interview went way smoother after talking to you, and I got put on their list for hiring when the following few positions opened up. I have already recommended you to other people at that stage, and I wanted to say thanks for all your help."

Troy

"Hey, Shawn, how are you? I got a job offer from the city of Miami Fire Rescue. I passed the interview that took place on January 10th. I got the call on Monday. I have to go in this coming Monday to sign my offer and get my date for the physical. Thank you and Deanna for all your help these past few years. I have learned much and plan to use that experience throughout my career. I start the academy this March. Thanks again, Shawn, and I will refer people to you if they need help with their fire interviews."

Anthony

"This site helped me immensely while working with the City of Toronto this year. I spent much time reading through the details of this website. Although I did not have a mock interview, and this was my second interview with a fire service, I succeeded in the interview process. I just wanted to thank you for this site’s excellent information, and all the best!"

Kyle

Toronto Fire Services 2013

"Hi Shawn, The interview with Pickering went well. Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of the two they hired to start in October. However, I did make it on their hiring list, so I have a good chance of being hired next year. In the meantime, I will still be applying to other departments. Your mock interview was a huge help, and I will definitely come back for another one when I get another interview.

Jesse

Pickering Fire Services 2012

"Hi Shawn, I had a mock interview with you in July. Thanks for all the help. I will be starting the recruitment class at the end of September. With your help and book, being adequately prepared was easier. I only wish I had got your help for the first interview. Thanks again!"

Tim

Ottawa Fire Services 2012

"Thank you for your services. I had a mock phone interview with Deanna before my first interview with Barrie. I was invited back for a second interview, so I had a second mock phone interview with Deanna before going in for my second interview with Barrie. And I got the job…I start in September! Thank you very much. It’s definitely worth the money!"
