I went back on the 2nd of January for the Oral Examination, as well as the psychological instruments which were a staggering 495 questions long.....
I wasn't the least bit nervous going in there, and I wasn't the entire time until they called me in to do the oral interview, even when I sat down I felt fine.
The questions they asked were far from what I had prepared for and seemed very, very ill related to any type of police work, basically they were the same types of questions you would ask any old joe who applied for a job at a burger joint. They wanted it completed as fast as possible, I used 15 of the 25 minutes for my 10 questions.
You get marked off on points if you don't answer a question, and some of them I really had to think about when I had an experience that related to the question that they presented.
I think I expected it to be much more involved than it actually was, when they started asking me the questions I was just thinking --- Are you serious?!
A lot of military guys there, so I am sure they all go to the top of the line, I have done many Psych evals before, and do very well on them, I am unsure of how I did on the oral part.
I guess they started off with 6400 applicants, currently 540 remain. Supposedly we are supposed to hear something in the coming weeks.
The thing that really turns me off is the 5 year committment, and the fact that you could go anywhere in the state, I don't even know if I would accept the conditional offer of employment if it was offered, as the job I really want starts in May.
