I went in for my interview today, I've watched your videos, and I'm confident that I'm ready for the interview, I look forward to joining the team.

[@TierTalk]

We look forward to having you John. Good luck today. You got this!!!!

[@benmerritt6895]

I worked in Maryland and Texas as a Correctional Officer for the states agencies. I am in Pennsylvania and just did the first part of the interview process. It was a phone interview due to COVID obviously. It was brief and I was asked questions and some scenarios. I scored a 100 on the civil exam prior to interview. I now have to wait and hear for the possible next steps. I love your channel.

[@kimmore1681]

Hey i have phone interview for pa corrections. What are the questions they ask ??

[@buksvisagie8112]

This is Awsome Advise and makes me feel more relaxed , i am currently waiting on my interview date and just gonne true screening . This makes me confident for the interview thank you .

I am so happy you were able to find value with the information provided

[@anthonylopez8205]

You and William’s videos have helped a lot. Once my back ground clears I should hit the academy in February. I have soaked up everything I can for me to refer to for my training. Keep it up and stay safe

[@TierTalk]

That is great news Anthony. I love when people find value in what we discuss. Good luck on your next step forward. Sounds like you will rock this

[@jeny9227]

After a month of watching your videos and others, I finally submitted my application yesterday. Wish me luck :-) The main thing holding me back was that I really like my current job. But I'm looking for a career with new challenges and opportunities to learn.

Thank you for the advice....I have been to a number of Oral Board interviews and sometimes the department will give you the questions before your interview. Its very helpful

[@TierTalk]

I am glad you are able to find use in what we provide.

I’m not trying to be a smart ass here, but we’re so short staffed you could go in dressed like a clown and get hired.

[@wolfrus1809]

So I’m in Ohio and i interview tomorrow and from what it sounds like is just a basic I show up answer a few questions and leave but what people on KZbin make it out to be is some crazy 15 interviews and a defense class and a bunch of other things and I’m just confused

[@TierTalk]

It’s all a progressive process

[@HarveyTalksPrison]

Being honest with inmates is very important. Inmates can tell if an officer is lying. Its alright to say no to an inmate. even if the inmate does not like what you say he will respect it. Now i have a question . This is mostly to see how you guys view it. For 12 years of my sentence I was in South Central Correctional Center in Missouri. It was about 25 miles from where i grew up. A couple of the guards i went to scholl with. One talked to me as if I was any other inmate. The other tried to talk to me all the time, which as an inmate made me nervous. I am sure you know why. But one day he told me not to tell anyone that we know one another because if staff finds out one of us will get moved and it would probably be me. I would enjoy hearing your opinion on this or of any other C/O who may read my comment.

[@TierTalk]

It is an interesting topic

[@patlopami]

or the officer would get another station to supervise for the shift. it happened to me. i was honest and went to my supervisor about an inmate i know personally and they moved me to another station. it was no big deal to me, it avoided me getting into trouble for showing favoritism.

[@dajaronise2236]

Thanks got 2 hours letter I pass the interview. Now I take a tour . Can you or did make a video of the trait assessment?

[@TierTalk]

@dajaronise2236 we have touched on this before. The key is…be honest and consistent with your answers. They may ask the same question in different ways..so try to find consistency with how you are answering the questions. For these types of assessments…they look for consistency.

@@Prince.PapiXo it depends on the agency. Some may not allow a negative credit history because they believe it could make you compromised.

[@Prince.PapiXo]

@@TierTalk okay. It’s with USP Leavenworth. I think I’ll just be honest and say I made some dumb credit decisions when I was a private in the army. Fingers crossed

[@TierTalk]

Yes. Always be honest.

[@furplays1389]

hey, im currently in the process, do you have any advice for a final interview with the sheriff of the correctional facility. I've been confident and myself the whole time. So im planning on sticking with that.

[@TierTalk]

Congrats by the way. Key is..be consistent with your responses. Consistency brings confidence. Being truthful will keep consistent. Answer what is asked. If you don’t know, show them roads you would take to figure it out. And most important thing…in the end …ask them …what are they looking for in a new hire? Trust me…on this. Key is…you are almost there. So be yourself. It seems to be working.

[@LathonFamilyMatters]

I have my interview on Monday. The lieutenant told me we would try to do everything in one day. I'm not sure if they have always done it like that, it may just be because where I live there is a huge shortage in officers. I know for sure I will be doing my pt test. And out of everything, thats what I'm most nervous about. The running is no big deal, the sit ups no big deal... it's the push ups. I know they arent going to be perfect. Is the pre hire pt test that big of a deal? Would it be a definite make or break? I'm in Georgia btw. Thanks!!

[@TierTalk]

You got this Sydney. Just push yourself. That is the key. Don’t worry about everyone else..just the the best you can be

[@adriancastillo6420]

Could you tell me more questions I could ask them at the end when they ask if i have any questions for them ?

[@TierTalk]

What do they expect from someone who is granted the position. That is always a good one. You want to ask questions that give them a chance to showcase what they want and expect.

[@Chrisquinones06]

Hi, thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very informative. I want to become a correction officer. I passed the exam and scored a 97. However, I live with my ex-boyfriend. We have children, but in the last, he was aggressive toward me. I dropped the DV charges, and we are getting along. Would this affect my chance of becoming a correction officer?

[@TierTalk]

I don’t think so. Just be honest and let them know of the situation. I think you will be okay …if you are up front with it. The last thing you want them to do is discover it and then question your honesty. Be upfront ..and see where the chips fall.

[@Chrisquinones06]

@@TierTalk Thank you so much for your response. Truly appreciate it. I will be honest and be myself. I'm just afraid to have that used against me. Fingers crossed, I get this.

[@TierTalk]

@@Chrisquinones06 go in their with confidence Christina. That is the most important thing. Confidence comes from being honest and consistent. Remember, they need someone to fill the position as much as you want it. The ball is yours. Do the best you can ..and never relook back. This is about the journey (growth) and not the outcome.

I am currently in the process of becoming a Corrections Officer. I feel as though I will do well on getting the job. However, I am a lot nervous about the Training Academy. I am not a long distance runner and I never was. All that running is making me question if I will get through it. Any tips on how to prepare for it?

[@TierTalk]

It’s a process. The key is to try your best to improve everyday. The instructor will push you in an effort to see your potential. You have to be push yourself more and more each day. The idea of the academy is to help you grow. It’s the process. So work and not quitting and pushing yourself more and more each day.

[@dat1reeree]

[@gabeboudreau8614]

Any advice taking an exam that has a lot of situational judgement questions?

[@TierTalk]

You have to look to deescalate. No matter what the scenario ..you need to show you can take control …that you can adapt and adjust. If you need help …don’t hesitate to mention that you may have to go to your supervisor for assistance. There could be so many scenarios they can throw your way…look to control and deescalate. I think that is the biggest thing. .
