I passed the physical abilities assessment for the SO I interned this last semester before I graduated and completed their application.   They must have liked something about me because I  have an interview 9am Monday!

Any idea what I should expect and or prepare for?  Already plan on wearing suit and tie.

Thanks!

As far as I could tell everything went well.  I didn't have a few papers that the detective needs but I can bring in those on Friday when I come in for a polygraph.  Overall it was mostly just verifying my application and then an essay and a logic test.

I made it through the initial interview, background investigation, and first poly.

Next step is the oral board interview with three upper ranking members of the sheriffs office on Monday.   I kind of have some idea of what to expect right now but I fully expect to be surprised at some point during it.

Anyone remember some of the questions they were asked?

"Do little kids make you feel sexy?"





Actual question BTW

It's tough to prepare for an oral board. Try to relax and think about your answers.

I might be later to the party but my interview was straight Interview 101...what are your strenghts & weakneses, where do you see yourself in 5 years, what was the last book you read...

It's ok to have weaknesses (depending of course on what they are...more on that in a minute).  Just be prepared to talk about what you've done to improve in those areas and what you're still doing to do to improve further.

Had a guy answer that question once with.....


"I'm addicted to porn."


Nobody, and I mean nobody, knew how to respond to that.

Be yourself and honest.  Remember that you are not a cop yet and answer the questions like you would at any other job interview.

It went pretty good I think.   No questions were too crazy, mostly the kind you would expect.   I got the whole "why do you want to be a deputy and what part of the job do you think you will not enjoy" question and a few others along those lines.  

Now I just need to have two of my references respond and then the wait begins.

Thanks for the responses guys.
