    Super appreciative of these videos despite you no longer being a dispatcher. It’s so hard to find quality and personal material on this job. Very insightful and informative!

      Awwww thank you so much!! I am glad I can help! Even though I am not a dispatcher anymore, I have gained soooo much knowledge from being a dispatcher... its not fair for me to keep it all in!!! Thanks for watching!!

    These videos are right on time! I just got a job offer in a dispatching today so I’m making sure I study your videos so that I’m prepared for what’s to come. Even before this, I was watching your videos during my hiring process and they helped reduce my anxiety. I know it’s only the beginning for me so I’m looking forward to your future videos. Keep ‘em coming! You’re a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for all of the knowledge that you’re bestowing on all of us.

    You certainly exceed the personality & professionalism attributes for this position. BUT Ms Laura you need to fulfill all you can be! Give some thought to certifications in public relations, or a communications position as the "face" of a company. You've got presence! Few have it; I know I haven't, but I can recognize it. You "got it"! 👍

  • @bravo6968
    @bravo6968 6 років тому +3

    Heyyyy. So did you ever feel like you might not get enough hours? Like I’m coming straight from the food business, where “if it’s slow, somebody gotta go”. Does that happen in 911? Like if it’s a slow day people get sent home? We will be working 8hr shifts where I’m at. Like what I’m asking is we’re there pay periods where you got less hours than usual?

    • @LauraBryant
      @LauraBryant  6 років тому +3

      Great question!! Absolutely not! Each agency has to have a certain number of people per shift. They don't generally send people home. I NEVER got less hours than I planned. They don't send people home because what if there was something major that happened and you didn't have coverage?? That will never be an issue.

    I was wondering about uniforms. When I turned in my background packet a dispatcher (I believe a police one but I'm not sure) that was in uniform. He had a police badge emblem on his shirt with 911 communications officer inside...uh yeah, I pay attention like that...nevermind the fact that writhing was small & thin as hell 😂😂😂😂 I'm so glad you posted this video because it provided more clarity on things & um maybe I need to know more than where Joann's Fabrics, Best Buy & Zales is & the highway that's right there in the city I applied for 😳 lol

      Oh yes!!! You HAVE to learn geography!! I am telling you that it was one of the most helpful things for me frfr... I used my geography knowledge EVERYDAY!! People would say they are driving SB on a street that goes East and West and is not in our city! And then they argue and say "this is your city!!!" lol!! LEARN IT!!!

    • @LauraBryant

      I always think that business attire is always acceptable. I would suggest a blouse and slacks or skirt. Even though you aren't "interviewing", you still are being looked at so it is important to always look your best! I hope this helps!

      Heyyyy!! Congrats and how exciting!! Depends on the type of certification you receive... however with a Telecommunicator license that is the job you can do... however there are other job opportunities you will have based on your experience as a dispatcher. Hopefully that is a little helpful for you! Keep us posted!!
