Don’t change your answer! One of the captains asked me about my FTO stealing a candy bar and if I would report him and I said “yes he is supposed to be teaching me the correct way and if he’s doing that, what else is he doing?” And he raised his voice and said SO YOULL RUIN THIS GUYS CAREER OVER A CANDY BAR!? And I said sir we are held to a higher standard and right is right and wrong is wrong and then he smiled and said “thank you”. Stick to your answers. The hardest part is the waiting to find out if you passed after the fact not the actual interview.

[@thesentinelmindset]

Thats great advice :)

[@Dale1029834756]

This is clearly an attempt to invite ego stroking. You obviously have self-esteem issues and you need to seek therapy. Being a compulsive liar in the KZbin section of police videos is not making you appear like a good candidate. This story is clearly fabricated, and you need to stop

[@woobi1223]

I just got an email from HRPS today saying I didn't make it to the interview stage and should reapply in a year... and this pops up as a recommended video lol thank you for great content! I hope I can get to an interview stage next time and utilize this video.

[@thesentinelmindset]

Keep pushing forward and DO NOT give up. Failure is a very important part of life. This experience will make you better.

[@Crimsonchin777]

Did you pass the fitness stage? I passed that and now I'm waiting to be called in for the LFI but I'm scared the same thing that happened to you can happen to me

[@thesentinelmindset]

Practice in front of the mirror. Good luck. You will do great.

[@abe310]

How did it go??

[@EggplantOven]

@@abe310 i practiced so many different questions but they only asked "tell me about yourself." The rest were scenario questions so i was thrown off guard 😂. I passed everything and I'm in backgrounds right now!

[@abe310]

@@EggplantOven congrats man!! I have my physical fitness exam on the 7th of april and im nervous😭😭

[@EggplantOven]

@@abe310 you got this if you've been training. I trained over 2 months to get ready for the physical. I'm 40 and was near the top with the 20yr olds.

How would you answer this question that I got… “An emergency situation arose. The police chief made a quick decision and asked you to do something that was not within policy and procedures. How would you handle this situation?”

[@BramptonHughes]

How important are start and end dates of employment? I don't remember the exact dates

[@thesentinelmindset]

Month and Year are good to list. If you are having a hard time remembering exact dates, contact the HR of your past employee.

[@Sorrus-B4lyfe]

One glaring flaw “I want everyone to come through that door to succeed” = There’s a limited amount of vacancies. Meaning, someone’s tie is better… someone who’s voiced cracked once or didn’t give someone a dirty look = Doesn’t proceed, good luck next year because you’re definitely not moving on. Sad Truth is, some people make GREAT First impressions… then the more you know them, see how they really work and end up being a mistake = Generally how Psychopaths get ahead in lifeS While most of us make bad first impressions… only to develop a greater impression over time. Meaning interview process is shallow and details can easily be missed. There’s a reason why corruption is so high in Policing.

[@professional7603]

I would not say they are all corrupt, but acknowledging the applicants can be really excited and nervous and then deferring them because of giving an answer/answers thats not in the way expected ( because of being excited and nervous) is nonsense.... also honesty and integrity are big time in policing but they are NOT always giving you the reason when you are deferred or terminated.... what happened to integrity and honesty??? oooops lol

Homie failed the interview and is mad
