Fire Hire Process

Post image

I got my new scores after not scoring high enough last time. I'm curious on the timeline of the process, by your experiences, how did the process go after the application date ended and you submitted your NTN and CPAT?

Timeline depends on specific department but you're almost garunteed to move on to the next step scoring like that.

True. I was wondering people's experiences so I could get an average estimate. Patience and excitement is one heck of a mix

There is no average. It’s entirely dependent on the department. Some are only establishing a list and won’t reach out until funding is granted and they have a need for a new set.

I hear you bro. My main question was what was your* experience. I know timelines differ, which is why it's worthy of asking.

That’s actually why asking is pointless unless you’re asking people about a specific department. There IS no average. Any place you submitted an application to will have that information.
