First Thoughts

Going into my interview I wasn't very nervous. I was rushed from track practice to my house and then to the Niles Fire Department. By the time I got to there I was ready for an awkward interview only to be surprised by an unexpected success. I was introduced to three of the nicest people I have ever met and we seemed to get along very well. There was so much I wanted to know and even more interesting things that I had never thought of asking about but everyone at the department was overjoyed to help and answer my questions. It was exciting to see all of the things in the fire department and learn so much about the equipment they use. I even got to ride in the fire engine when an emergency occurred during my interview. Sargent Mitchell was very kind and was happy to respond to my interview. She gave lots of suggestions and even provided me with eother phone numbers for my I-Search. It was a great experience and I'm not sure if an interview could go any better but I look forward to my other two interviews.

It was good that you didnt feel very nervous. And because you were not feeling nervous you made your whole interview fun and you learned things from that. And cool that you were with them at the time of the emergency beacuse you saw how they do on case of an emergency. And make your next interview even more intresting and enjoy it.

Great job on doing your first interview John and from what I have heard from other students it is always difficult at first but then they tend to warm up and get comfortable with there interviewee. I hope I can get great results like you John.
