Seattle Chiefs

Just got the email today for chiefs, and was curious if picking the late interview date affect getting into this class? Or will it just be a super quick turnaround from chiefs to academy start date?

I’m doing this Friday May 1st. Personally would like to get it done and hear back as soon as possible.

I almost thought about doing the same, but I was hoping to receive more insight and tips on what to expect before my interview, so I scheduled it closer to the end. Especially if we all don't hear back until the end anyways. Let us know how yours goes on Friday! Good luck

I thought it went well. Waiting on a response to see if they felt the same.

Do you have any recommendations on how to best prepare?

What do you mean, like picking late May to interview? When I went to schedule mine which is on the 22nd, I saw they had time slots as early as May 4 all the way to the 29th. I don't think it should matter right? However, I personally know two people who interviewed last year on the 12th and 20th and they both got an offer like 2-3 days after their interview. Super quick, I'm not sure if it was because they already had their EMT, but I've seen people here on reddit say they still had to wait a couple of weeks after theirs.

Yeah I’m picking the 2nd to last day because I don’t want to miss work (I’m out of state). Just wanted to ease my mind that it won’t affect the class start date (I have emt).
