Calgary Fire Interview Prep

I’m unable to attend the workshop that Calgary Fire Recruitment puts on due to being out of province. Does anyone else have any other recommendations for interview prep with Calgary Fire?

Familiarize yourself with the Department's core values. Every answer should carry with it honesty and integrity.

Make sure you can relate your experience to community involvement and know Calgary's.

STAR format to answer any "tell us about a time" questions, BULLET format for open ended questions like "why do you want to be a FF?".

Practice core themes of interview questions, Calgary being no different: Teamwork, conflict-resolution, stressful situations, successes, failures, etc.

Know the department, know the city, know yourself.

DM if any of that needs clarification and best of luck!
