First Questions on an Interview Board

[@skullcraftcustoms]

I'm an ex deputy, Private investigator and my advice is simple. Be honest, be yourself. Be friendly. They need a good personality as much as they do a guy who thinks on his/her feet. Stay traditional in your dress, don't be overly trendy. just remember that you will be working in a very structured and critiqued industry. Not the time to flashy or trendy. Leave your starbucks job interview at home. Your body language given off when seated will tell stories about you. JUST RELAX

Please keep these questions coming. I am in the process of getting close on oral board interview. Also love your channel keep up the good content!

[@InPursuit360]

Appreciate it. Good luck to you. Hopefully you have a couple of irons in the fire. Let me know if there is something specific I can cover for you. Stay safe

Sir I am so grateful I found your channel I have my oral board interview September 7.

[@jazr7997]

In the process to transferring and leaving my current department. Your videos were a helpful refresher on how to interview with PDs.

[@InPursuit360]

Thanks. Good luck to you. Let me know if there are any specific questions you’d like to hear. Stay safe

[@whatsupdude]

@@InPursuit360 Perhaps make a video on interviews for current Police Officers interviewing for other PDs. A LOT of departments in IL hiring laterals and their interviews have been a different experience compared to entry-level interviews. Appreciate the response, stay safe

[@Fredy.machine]

Awesome channel! You should do more scenario based questions

[@m1a1tanky]

Good morning, I agree with being told to have a seat!!! Awesome info and appreciate your videos. I disagree with shaking hands. It's play by play in my experience. Smaller departments may prefer a more personable approach like shaking hands and looking them in the eye vs. larger departments/sheriff's/state/federal agencies. Know your audience I'd say would be appropriate.

Realistically, if you can't work at McDonald's as a manager then you can't work law enforcement. Both positions are authority dealing with people of all kind of background.

I noticed in this video for the tell us about yourself question, you said to talk about your experiences like what high school you went to and your extra curriculars and job experience but in a different video I believe for that same question, you said to respond with your good traits, should i do a mix of both?? For example, i was in police explorers and that program taught me the importance of team work and discipline.

[@edgargracia9619]

Correct me if im wrong about assuming that you said that in a different video though

[@jazr7997]

Shit.. i shook their hands and sat down before they asked me to 😔😒😞

[@FrazerLoveman]

What was the outcome??

[@InPursuit360]

Ahhh, not a biggie. My ideas are just that. The most important thing is to be yourself. Keep trying and good luck.

[@jazr7997]

@@FrazerLoveman well I passed lol I did good. They were nice apparently, they passed me.

[@jazr7997]

@@InPursuit360 thank you😊

[@corbind.9395]

Would you say a blue suit, white shirt, red tie is too much?

[@InPursuit360]

I have been in LE for a long time but have never been good at being the fashion police. I would say as long as it is professional you should be good. You should always be you and that should be good enough. If you are not yourself it will come out later and they will wonder what happened. Good luck, keep trying and stay safe

[@FrazerLoveman]

Dude, I went in, and after I realised I looked just like trump. Not a bad thing

This may sound stupid but can i say something along the lines of. “I spend alot of my downtime playing video games and some of the things I learned while playing are communication between teammates, being able to adjust a strategy if our first plan doesn’t work, and getting to know a wide variety of individuals and learning how to communicate and deal with those individuals”

[@soulja4islam706]

Sounds like a teenager, please do not say that. This is real life not a video game... during the interview and on the police job!
