Hi, Ronnie! Just got done working out myself. I was late and missed taking the pack test on Monday. Do you have any advice on how I can convince crew boss or engine boss guys to hire me? Thank you 🙏🏻
Oh no! First, I'd own up to the error and say something like, "I understand I was late and missed my scheduled test." Explain the situation. "Are there any other tests scheduled that I can sign up for?" If not, ask if they'd be willing to hold another test for you. Then I'd make sure that you are NOT late for that one.
My dept runs 1-2 per year - but often a department co-operates with other local deparments who run them on other dates and may accept you if you do it with a neighboring department, and the fire training center in your area might also run, so there should be multiple opportunities if you search around.
Best thing I learned over 6 seasons was just stay in hiking shape.
My moms name is Ronni too :)
I take my pack test in the morning for Dust Busters in eugene, OR
Blatter pack or camel pack.. my name is Bryce and I am joining Weber Basin Hand-crew

decaf coffee, "studying" for nclex until I puke all the coffee back out. Thanks for posting Ronni!
