January 2007 MFS intake

[josh]

I completely understand mate as I am in exactly the same boat. I was in that very first group of 17 to get through everything including the psych test,

there are heaps of people who completed all stages.

you dont pass or fail the psyc test, they take the most suitable people who fit the personality profile of successful firefighter. if 500 do the test and they need 18 people, the 18 at the top that most closely fit the profile get called up.

i was told the number of people who get through after completing the psyc test is in the 8 to 10% area.

wicky- i think the reason they are temporarily closing applications at june 30 is due to changing the pre-requisites eg HR licence instead of MR from 1st july.

gasman yep ive had an email from him. its davo on this forum. WELL DONE DAVO, congratulations!

ok thanks.

Does anybody have any news on the recruitment of full time firies.??

[gasman]

nothing has changed for a while, no more applications seem to be getting processed, the web site has suspended applications indefinitely. Still a reasonable number of hopefulls like myself in the holding pool at this stage. Hope they work it out sooner rather than later

hi there gasman, I am in the same position, very frustrating with a lack of information and not knowing what might happen.
Good Luck.

[topjake]

Gasman and jt1717 I am in the same position so fingers crossed to all

[wicky]

that makes 3 of you how many do you think are in the same boat as you guys

[Zippy]

wouldnt it be nice to think that everyone thought "oh im sure 1000 other people would apply...too hard"....and just a select few applied   

that'd be the day id apply

The MFB are on a rigourous recruiting drive to replace all the 50 somethings due for retirement

The MFB should be on a rigorous drive to update their prehistoric PPE as well...
