Had my interview and ride along (again) today.. - XDTalk Forums

So today has been a fantastic day! I had my interview at the Sheriffs Office at 9am today. I believe it went really well and hopefully I'll get a call in the next week or so.

My 2nd ride along was great! And hopefully I'll get to do a night shift ride along. I almost got tazed today too!

Some of the deputies were getting qualified and the Captain asked if I wanted to take a ride on it. You should have seen the look on their faces when I said yes. But I didn't get tazed since I'm not employed as of yet.

Thanks to all of those whom have been very helpful and provided encouragement!

I guess its me being lazy but MAN I LOVE 3RD SHIFT! 3RD SHIFT = LESS BOSS + LESS CALLS + MORE PAY + (RELATED TO LESS CALLS)LESS IDIOTS TO DEAL WITH. (except on Friday/Saturday (crying) hate high school/college kids!)

i disagree, his not hired yet and he didn't pass probation yet. I would do anything to get on peoples good side, even if it means getting tazed. Second what is a few jolts worth if that dude really starts to like you and happens to be the FTO?

Wow, this sounds really good for you!

I hope you get your call!!!

I am so nervous about my testing and everything on the 21st!!!

The dude that asked me was the Captain of the road patrol.. of course I am going to say yes.. gotta get those points! My friend I've been riding with and got me in the door is the day shift supervisor and he is an FTO.

I still haven't heard anything but am being positive..it took a while just to get the interview.

hang in there, some department, i've seen department hire someone in 1 week to hire someone (usally the crappy ones), some departments 6months and Chicago? I heard for someone, it took them 1 year just to do a background check and still didn't get hired.

EDIT: also don't put ur eggs in one basket, even if they like you, keep applying to other departments. It might be a few years before they hire anyone due to hiring freezes and budget cuts.

Good advice. I will take this advice as well

I am going to give this department I am applying for my best shot but I know how hard it is to swing a job anywhere--especially LEO these days...so I have to keep my options open
