RECRUITMENT 2008
« on: January 12, 2008, 01:24:33 PM »
There has been some changes on the recruitment page of the SAMFS website.

It's saying that they are going to call for applications in the first quarter of 2008.

I wasn't going to apply this year, but I can't help it. Off to get the HR licence I guess :)

I hear that applications open on Feb 9th and will remain open for two weeks only.  PAT1 testing may start in early March.

Only a rumour of course, but my source is good.

isn't it a bit illegal to say you need a family member in already? when the MFS says it is an Equal opportunity employer?

having a close family member, such as a dad etc, would be of benefit for the personality profile. being raised in a fire fighter house hold would mean that the influence on personality would be there and have the same values etc. clearly the personality profile is the area where we all get stuck. its not hard to get fit and stay fit and the maths/spelling is year 9 stuff.

HC or HR ??

Can people let me know their experiences in driving schools for HR, because I am interested in doing the course late this year for private purposes. Please PM me, thanks.

By the way, $1500 to $2000 is a lot of money for alicense you might not use. Will some of you use the license anyway, or will it sit in the cupboard if you do not make the MFS ??
