Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (Winsford, North West England, England) in Jan 2022

Interview

A lengthy and drawn out process, multiple online assessments followed by a physical assessment and finally an interview. There's no feedback following any stage due to the volume of applicants. No merit list unlike some other services. Good facilities and helpful staff who encourage potential recruits.

Interview

An intimidating panel at fire HQ. Some friendly HR though. And management pretend to be friendly. They will ask you all kinds and just want to hear buzz words that score points. So dont even bother to be nice.
