Guys and gals, wanted to throw another event on your radar. The Southern California Firefighter Career Expo is happening Saturday, October 17th in Carlsbad. If you’re testing right now, this is a great opportunity to get in front of different departments, talk with recruiters, ask questions and get some more exposure to the process. They’ll also have CPAT hands on experience, workshops and information on the FCTC Statewide Eligibility List. 📅 Saturday, October 17 ⏰ 11 AM to 2 PM 📍 FCTC San Diego County 6144 Innovation Way, Carlsbad The event is FREE and families are welcome. If you end up going, come back to the community and let us know what departments were there, who you talked to and anything you learned that could help the rest of the crew. Take advantage of these opportunities when they come up. 👊🔥 You go, we go.

Alright crew, checking in. How did last week go? Did you make any progress toward getting hired? Station visits? Applications submitted? CPAT or Biddle? Interviews? Academy progress? Fitness wins? Anything you struggled with? Drop it below. Wins, losses, lessons learned, whatever it is. Let’s hear it. I’m feeling grateful today and I’m off today and tomorrow, so I want to give some of my time back to you guys and girls. Reach out to me and let’s do a private 1 on 1. We can literally go over anything and everything you need help with. Want to better understand the hiring process? Let’s talk. Fitness or nutrition? Let’s go over it. Have a presentation coming up and don’t know where to start? Need your resume reviewed? Want to practice interview questions? Not sure what your next move should be? Whatever you need, reach out. If I can help you, I will. You go, we go. 👊🔥

Alright crew, it’s Friday. Let’s hear how everyone did this week. What did you get done that moved you one step closer to getting hired? 🚒 Any station visits? 📝 Fill out any applications? 🏃 Take a CPAT or Biddle? 🎤 Have an interview? 📚 Study for an exam? 💪 Get your workouts in? ☎️ Reach out to someone in the fire service? 👊 Do something this week that made you uncomfortable but helped you grow? It doesn’t have to be a huge win. Maybe you submitted one application. Maybe you finally walked into a station. Maybe you shaved 30 seconds off your run. Maybe you bombed an interview but learned exactly what you need to work on. Drop it in the comments. Wins, losses, lessons learned. Let’s hear all of it. Accountability is a big part of this community. The more we share what we’re doing, the more we can help each other through this process. And if you didn’t do anything this week, own that too. What are you going to do differently next week?
