ADDRESSING THE FIREFIGHTER INTERVIEW PANEL
Usually someone will escort you into the interview room, and introduce you to the panel members. Don’t worry about remembering all their names. Often the panel members will be wearing name tags or cards will be placed in front of them. As you’re introduced, look the rater in the eye and give a firm handshake. Too many times candidate give a dead fish handshake.

When shaking hands with a female rater don’t use too much pressure, just match the pressure in their handshake male and female alike. At the end of the interview, the panel will usually stand and shake hands again. If not take the
first step to leave a lasting impression, and remember eye contact while thanking them for the opportunity. If you know the panels rank or if ladies are present follow that order.
