"What is the surest way NOT to be HIRED or PROMOTED?"

 

"To think that it's easy. To think that you know it all, that you have it in the bag. You are a shoe in. You are a sure thing. The chosen one. It's a done deal.

 

You've heard the gossip. "They've already picked who they want."

 

And you think it's YOU.

 

Big mistake.

 

The truth is, the competition is fierce for police positions and supervisory and management jobs in law enforcement.

 

Whether or not "They've already picked who they want," THEY are not going to pluck you off the BOTTOM HALF of the list. Doesn't work that way.

Forget a one-point difference - I've witnessed one candidate be hired or promoted over another due to a quarter-point difference. One full point - only one test question - would have made all the difference.

 

Use my study system. Go in prepared, and score at the top. If you go in unprepared, and score low or fail, it will be much more difficult to convince them in the future that you are the best candidate for the position."

 

- Lt. Paul Patti, 1986
