Fire Department Promotional Oral Interview Questions

Fire Department Promotional Oral Interview Questions

It’s difficult to hear a question and rapidly formulate an adequate answer, especially under the added pressure of raters staring at you from across the table. A candidate who has thought about and developed ideas and responses to the concepts typically discussed in an oral interview will usually score higher than one who is contemplating a topic for the first time during an interview.

In the Oral Interviews section, Captain/Lieutenant members have access to over 75 pages of Fire Officer promotional oral interview questions, answers, and rationale. Battalion Chief members have access to an additional 42 pages of focused questions, answers, and rationale. These questions and answers were developed through years of writing, proctoring, and rating promotional examinations. All the questions presented have appeared, in one form or another, on fire officer or battalion chief exams throughout the country.

In addition to the numerous questions and answers, members have access to the instructional video titled, Oral Interviews. In this video you will learn the five dimensions that are typically used to score most oral interviews. The video also shows how to prepare for an interview, up to and including what to do the day of the interview.

The video provides you with guidelines to follow when responding to questions to help ensure that you are addressing the question that was asked, not the question that you want to answer (a very common interview mistake). You will also learn how to read subtle clues from your raters, and how to tell if you are scoring valuable points or just wasting time and losing the raters’ interest.

The video Understanding Raters provides insight into how the assessment center operates from a rater’s perspective, and how raters from outside organizations are able to effectively score your assessment center.

The questions, answers and rationale provided to AFO members are representative of what they will encounter during the oral interview portion of their assessment center. In fact, our members often tell us that the questions we provided were the exact questions asked during their promotional oral interview. Even if the questions are different, our members will have developed a strong foundation to respond to a variety of fire service topics, allowing them to maximize their score during their oral interview.

In this section you will be exposed to many, if not all, of the concepts that will be tested during your oral interview. Preparation is the key to achieving a high score in the oral interview and securing your promotion. We are confident that, when coupled with your style and delivery, AFO training can help guide you to success in the oral interview portion of your assessment center.
