I still got on this thread to see how the process is moving a long. IFD is my dream dept and hope to work there 1 day. Im only 24 so I shuld be able to participate in a few more processes. Its hard knowing that I'm gonna have to wait a few years at least but just wanted to say congrats to those who made it as far as you did and to those even moving farther. If u haven't got an email yet keep your fingers crossed.Trust me I know what it's like being disappointed from receiving that heartbreaking email. Once again congrats and good luck to all.
Aerial climb is one of the last steps if they are going to do it.Quote:

It took most of us several times to finally get hired somewhere. Get your EMT or Medic, find a department to volunteer, keep your nose clean etc. The key is to not give up, but to keep working towards your dream.Quote:

Anyone else get a "moving on" email/call?
Nothing here, still have hope though since prowland247 is the only one on the forum that has mentioned anything. Hopefully they still have more people to contact.
Just I case anyone was wondering I was notified via email on Thursday. Last time I saw people getting notifications for cpat testing a bit before I got mine.
Congrats again. What is your initials in case they are sending the emails alphabetically. Thank you.Quote:

IFDFFENG20 I was wondering if you knew how many are going for finger printing? Also what are the next few steps in the process?
I don't know how many are going to be finger printed. At some point there will be conditional offers once the okay is given to hire people. Then there is usually a physical by our physician and a psychological exam and interview with a psychologist. I don't know if there will be an aerial climb.Quote:

Man, this is such a bummer. I completed the background, fingerprinting, etc. during the 2008 process, but with the mergers and poor economy my opportunity never arrived. I was really hoping to have a better showing this time around, but it doesn't look good. Age isn't my friend, so this was my last shot. Hopefully, those of you moving on will eventually get your chance. IFD is an amazing department and anyone making it through to the academy should appreciate just how fortunate they are.
Prowland247, congrats! It looks like you're the only one of us in this thread moving on. Be sure to keep us updated on your progress!
I took, and passed the CPAT, but haven't gotten any email to move on. The vibe I got from the proctor at the CPAT was that if we passed the CPAT then we were in great shape due to all the hiring that needed to be done. Anyone have any idea if they are still sending out emails, or if they were all sent at once last week? Not getting one during this wave has me worried due to all the budget issues.

Remember, the CPAT is only pass/fail. The scores had been determined by this point. Over 250 people were scheduled to take the CPAT. Passing the CPAT was just another step in the overall process. We need to hire for sure, but someone who passed the CPAT could be ranked #250 and I doubt the list would go this far.Quote:

I'm just really hoping they actually do hire off this list again.
