I understand that many people on the exam list are not on this forum, however, we are being hired as EMT's, not brain surgeons! This lengthy background investigation process and lack of communication from our investigators is very frustrating... Apparently, years of experience and numerous...

And it's not just "some people" being skipped over....From what I'm reading here, FDNY is jumping over 100's of people at a time!

No background investigation should take 10 months! I was skipped over in September, and it looks like it's going to happen again for February... I had my intake interview in April, 2013, and my complete medical in May.... Some candidates on here had their interview in November, and were hired...

maybe you can ask for the investigator in charge....Peggy Quinn heads the investigation division....try talking to her....I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I agree....they encourage you to apply at FDNY, and then ignore you when you have a question!

I'm already certified as a paramedic in New York....figured the hiring process would be straight forward....

That's crazy! I'm a retired police officer (20 years), and my investigator will call me with a question about my pension...then I hear nothing for months... I emailed my guy after I was skipped over in September, and he never answered me.

I have the same problem.... My list # is 25x, and I was skipped over from the September class....My investigator keeps telling me to "just wait"....I have no idea why they don't make the calls in order....DCAS last week said they were up to #334....How are people getting calls with #'s like...

I have the same problem.... My list # is 25x, and I wa

Thanks for the explanation....I appreciate it!

Ohh, ok.... Thanks for the ex

Just clarifying: Your exam # was 2004, correct? I'm hoping that wasn't the year you got on the list....

Yup.... I finished up with my investigator completely in May, 2013...He called me in July with a minor question, that I answered over the phone. He said that was all he needed, and that everything else was good to go...

My number is 25x.... When I found out they were up to 334, I called my investigator in early December to ask what was going on.... He told me I was skipped over because my file was still under review. He told me to hang in there for the next class.... We shall see....

Nope.... Still waiting
