      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at FDNY (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Process to get hired takes a very long time. Well worth it but kind of leaves you in the dark wondering where you are in the process. However, this is expected with any city agency.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How many times do you say thank you to strangers?. Legit a question on the test

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at FDNY (New York, NY) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      If you promote from fdny ems, there's no interview process, just the medical. If you do the right thing in EMS for the officers and your patient, you'll be ok.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Just pass the medical and stay out of trouble, in and out of work.

      Neutral experience

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at FDNY

      Interview

      Top scores on the FDNY civil service test are required. Background checks are very thorough and extensive. The whole process from initial civil service test, to date of hire will take at least 1 &1/2 years and may take up to 5 years. Physical fitness is an absolute must. The academy is long and grueling.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions during the hiring process are all common sense. Your most difficult questions will all come in the academy which will be based on material they provide you with to study and learn from
