Personal Statement For Fire Service

I have had work experience in customer service jobs giving me skills, and the ability to work with different types of people in many situations. I pay close attention to detail and I am a very hard worker. I am friendly, punctual, and eager to learn new skills about early childhood development. I work well with others and have many ideas to improve the company. I am currently studying elementary education at Sierra College, and have taken courses pertaining to child and human development. I am also currently looking to obtain a CPR and first aid training certificate.

There are several reasons I feel I would be a quality candidate for this position. My past personal experience included being a military wife for 23 years. It allowed me to travel and experience a variety of cultures but more importantly it taught me how to adapt. Moving every few years has given me invaluable lifetime experience, outstanding organizational skills and the ability to prioritize. As a volunteer Girl Scout leader/Service Unit Manager, I was a dedicated team player and learned to remain calm and gracious under pressure while dealing with large groups of children and adults. As a PTA president I collaborated with school staff, administration, and coordinated school events all requiring strong communication and interpersonal skills.

However, I am currently in the process of being hired by the District of Columbia Fire Department but this is only a step in the right direction. I strongly believe that with my education further opportunities will arise for me, than just being a firefight / emt. Although, I have had my eyes on being a professional firefighter for many years, I wish to use my education in the behind the scenes work. My love for the fire department started at a very young age. Growing up my grandmother became very ill at a young age; this is where I first found interest in the medical field. The passion that countless doctors, nurses, medical staff, and fire department members had for a stranger encouraged me to pursue my career in this

The healthcare sector offers a variety of professional opportunities that include pediatric, geriatrics, public policy and many other areas in which I hope to make a impact towards. I have always been intrigued by medicine and continue to gain more interest in public health. In the future, I desire to combine both medicine and public health by participating in an MD and MPH program. My experiences and education provide me with constant motivation in achieving my goals.

As a recent graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and a new Research Technician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, becoming more familiar with different healthcare settings and helping others in doing so have always been of my interest. From my experience of volunteering as a piano teacher for inner-city children in Baltimore, I have learnt that even a small commitment and emotional support can make a big difference in the daily lives and the happiness of those in need. I have briefly familiarized myself to the hospital environment by shadowing physicians and conducting biomedical research but have yet to translate my volunteering experiences and the lessons learnt from them to the healthcare setting. I am a friendly, optimistic,

Being a firefighter is everything to me; it’s my dream job. I cannot wait to embark my lifelong career as a firefighter. I’m even more excited to learn about how to be a firefighter through amazing firefighter who I look up to and hope one day I’ll have as much experience as Chief Harris. The rewards of being a firefighter are like no other, the brotherhood is the life I chose, and I hope to have a positive impact on people in the community I will serve as a

Ever since I was a young boy, I always wanted to be a firefighter. I played firefighter with my friends and we pretended to put our house and other objects out with the garden hose. We would jump out of the back of my dad’s truck with our hose just like the firefighters jumping out of their trucks. Every time I would see the fire truck drive by I would wave and say to my mom, “that is going to be me one day.”

Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others , helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.

My professional goal is to apply my knowledge and experience in a way that contributes to the overall success of any mission and safeguards our communities. To that end, I would like to pursue a career as either an emergency manager for a town or city, a senior manager in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or a senior manager in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). I believe my current and past experiences make me an excellent candidate for a senior level management position in any of these areas.

Listed below is a brief summary as to why I feel I am a appropriate candidate for such an

As a young child, I learned that education would be beneficial to not only myself but also all humankind. Growing up in a Northeast Florida housing project my father and mother did the best they could to raise nine children. My father worked seven days a week in the service industry as a waiter and bartender while my mother worked as a domestic employee in the homes of more affluent people in the south. My father had an eleventh grade education and my mother had not passed the tenth grade before she bore her first child. Neither parent completed high school but they had dreams of their children far exceeding their educational accomplishments. I was child eight of the nine and I knew early on that I did not want to live

Secondly, I believe that educating stakeholders about what they can do to maintain their safety and the

Firefighting is a career that can make you feel proud and accomplished, and it is a career in which I have a lot of respect for. In order to be a firefighter you must be in shape, prepared, experienced, and ready to deal with your job emotionally as well as physically. I chose to be a firefighter because I want to be able to help others and make them feel safe to live in their communities.

2. One great leader in my career I will always reflect upon as a significant influence to me: an old, grouchy QMC and was my very first Chief. He was quiet, socially awkward, and routinely hard to get along with since his demeanor was never known to be ‘friendly’. However, even with these setbacks, he did not remove himself from the contention as a leader as he most certainly was. He required much of his staff: long hours, attention to detail, inspection-ready uniforms, among others. It may seem ironic, but people were always ready and willing to work for him. The main reason I look to him as being a
