Testimonials:
Dear Chief Finley,
I would like to thank you again for taking the time to meet with both my wife and I last night regarding my resume/ interview evaluation. Our meeting exceeded all expectations I had and gave me insight on my own life and perspective on interviews from a Chiefs perspective. I believe this will give me confidence to do better in future interviews as I pursue a career in the fire service.
Thank You,
Trevor
Hello Chief Finley,
The interview was miles different from the other ones and I would like to thank you for helping me prepare and your insights.
Thank you,
Cameron
Hi Richard,
I just wanted to say thanks again for our session yesterday. I feel I really got what you were saying, and told my wife that driving 9 hours both ways to have my ass served to me on a platter was the best money I ever spent.
Cheers,
Darren
Thanks for all you help, i'll keep you informed of my progress. I am very happy with your services.

Just wanted to touch base and let you know where I was at with the firefighting. I got a call yesterday, and was offered a position with the fire department! Great christmas present!! Wanted to thank you for all your help. Merry Christmas
Morgan
Chief,
I just wanted you to know that I've been offered a career firefighter position with VF&RS and I start training on the 4th of April.
Thank you for your help and guidance during my training session. The mock interview was a helpful tool and I would recommend your services to anyone needing help to improve and sharpen their skills.
Thanks again,
Nick
Rich,
I got a job. I made the list after last year, and have been called based on one new position opening up. Although I had the interview before getting your help, I still got a lot from our meeting, and have passed the word around a bit, so expect some phone calls....from the smart ones anyway. I am copying this email to a friend of mine who was asking for your contact info.
Thanks again,
Ian
