Bothell, WA - Entry level FF

[nwavant]

You should know your status by now.

Missed it by a point... On to the next.

Good luck, good department and lots of interesting changing coming!

[FFWC]

Where did you see your status? I thought we wouldn't know until the second week of August. Thanks!

[nwavant]

This would be for the ones who are not moving on with the process. I know 4 people, including myself who received emails and one received a letter.

[FFWC]

Ah I see. What was the cutoff score?

[nwavant]

85.71 was the cut off via the email/letter.

For those of us moving on the Application/Resume review is happening this week and we should be hearing where we stand and if we get interviews in the next week or so..... Good luck to everybody out there in the process.

[FFWC]

Has anyone heard how many they may be hiring or any other details that were not in the letter from HR?

Well, because I didn't attach my application to the job posting (even though I created it), I'm out of the running.

Hindsight being 20/20, I should've called when I was finished with the application to make sure they received it, but it's of no consequence now. I do believe the public sector in general needs to relax their rules a bit in situations like this. The company I work for has submitted proposals that arrive an hour or so late due to FedEx or UPS and we've been thrown out under the same reasoning. Just doesn't seem right to throw away a potentially great person/company based on something like that.

Oh well, that's the environment we're in.

Good luck guys.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Are they making calls?

[Hopeful_FF]

I'm sorry to hear about that. Are they making calls?

I called them in a panic when I realized what happened.

I think they're supposed to decide this week and make calls next week, but that's only speculation on my part. I didn't confirm the timeline.

[CCD1015]

Has anyone else had trouble scheduling their interview time and date?

Yea after I click on application status it says oral board but under schedule it is blank. There's nothing to click on to schedule. Gonna call them soon to figure it out.

[NWBrother]

Any ideas on what to expect for the interview??

Hey bam: Where are you when we need you?

[FFWC]

Anyone know how many Bothell is hiring or when exactly they will be? Sounds like the fall. Wonder if they will pick up lateral, entry-level or a combination of the two. Tough to find out much information, maybe someone has an inside perspective. Thanks.

Has anyone heard any additional information?

Haha! I saw this and actually held off on the first reply I thought of:

"Questions."
