An interview is a two way communication process in which an interviewer asks questions from a prospective interviewee. Fire service mainly deals with different kinds of big accidents like conflagration, flood, gas-accident and multistory building collapse etc. Fire workers are those people who are responsible for extinguishing destructive fires.
In this article I would like to provide you some important questions that are frequently asked in interviews for this post.
1. Please tell us something about yourself?
It is the most general interview question. It is a very simple question and the interviewer expects a straight forward answer from you. Employer is not interested in knowing your hobbies, likes or dislikes. You have to tell your professional self. Just give a brief summary of your personal details, educational qualifications and your professional experience and skills to the interviewer.
2. Please tell us something about your experience, qualification and skills?
I am trained in fire investigations and accident reconstruction. I have wide knowledge of relevant equipment, procedures, policies and strategies to promote national, state or local security operations for the security of data, people and property. I also have idea of laws and I can work independently as well as in team.
3. Why do you want to make a profession in this field?
It is the most frequently asked interview question. The way you answer this question will discriminate you from rest of the candidates. Be honest, and tell the employer that you find this job quite lucrative. You should talk about the wide scope of progress in this field. Just make a complete research of this field in advance.
4. What separates a good fire person from a bad one? What qualities are required to become a good fire worker?
A good fire worker should be efficient in handling hazardous situations. People who hold this position should have a good attitude. They must remain calm under stressful condition and should always carry a smile on their face.
5. What are your hobbies?
This question is basically asked to know your interest and hobbies. You can impress an interviewer by your answer. You should highlight activities you enjoy that demonstrate risk taking, recharging and an outgoing personality. Try to relate your interests in terms of the job requirements.
It is very essential to be prepared for an interview. During the course of an interview, you may be asked various questions. Just one bad answer can stand out and cost you the job. So be careful while you appear for an interview.
