Anyone ever have an interview question that you just didn't have an answer for? And can't be solved with "I don't have the answer but I can get you one as soon as possible". I am working on getting on another volunteer fire dept since my past one was meh and this one gets way more calls like 4x as many. Any way I'm in the interview and im asked what should have been an expected question," why do you want to be a firefighter"...um the cool hat. I really didn't have a good answer because I've never thought about it. I just do I have wanted to be a cop and fireman my whole life. It's just there in the back of my head all the time. Luckily they said I could answer it there or do a one page paper on it at home. Probably didn't look the best we'll see.
