well shoot, I'll throw my application in. Thanks for the tip! Why'd you leave? Whats their initial training program like?
I left because a mentor of mine got me back into my previous field. It was a bad mistake. But, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
The hire process has changed a bit, I've heard. It used to be scenario and panel questions from FTOs and leadership. I hear they added a written test to weed out the zeroes.
The clearance process is long and involved. It's basically the FTEP process, all competency based. It used to be very difficult to complete successfully, but I think they washed out too many candidates. It can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on your skill level and how well you learn their systems.
It's a great place. It has downsides,like anywhere... But if I were just a medic,looking to start a career with an agency,I'd go back in a heartbeat. Unfortunately they don't hire for anything other than medics, so someone with lots of experience still starts brand, new at the bottom. And the promotional process takes seniority into account.
And it's Delaware. So, there's that. It's a bit insular and slow. (it's why they call Sussex county "slower lower" Delaware )
Anything else, just ask.
