 This is a fantastic job, it's one of the most challenging and enjoyable things I've ever done and one of the most fulfilling. I think you'll get so much out of it as I have. In firefighting industry you have to have soft skills, which are equally as important as the hard skills. Obviously the hard skills are the ability to control hoses and put water on fire. But there's also the soft skills and that's about the empathy with the community and the public, the community engagement. The recruitment process is an application online first of all and then we proceed to a beep test and also an aptitude test. From there we go to a screening interview, we've got the physical challenge and final interview and hopefully if you're accepted from there the call sign works you're going ahead. The behaviours we look for are what we want to see in the fire station. Teamwork, crews being have a good peak physical fitness, crews that are able to problem solve some mechanical reasoning side things and good communication skills. They're the main things we're looking for from a recruit. The recruits are from a whole multitude of different backgrounds, from different skill sets, from different employment or occupations, they're very much aware that CFA is a state organisation. I think there's a lot of opportunity and I can see that so I've started that you really, you could probably take this anywhere. For future recruits I'd have to say don't give up, keep trying, it's hard work, it's a lot of hard work but it's absolutely worth it in the end. If you're thinking of doing it just do it, it's a fantastic career that you'll choose.
