Do you have a current coat and class a or b ? With endorsements ?

Class C with FF endorsement hoping to be the new FAE swamper and be a HFEO in 2 years. Sweet pipeline.
*Hoping for a autonomous transport so we don’t have to worry about a license at all.

Yes I do I have my FF endorsement. I am currently a firefighter now and have my FF1&2. I also have prior fed and reserve time.

I almost never post in these types of threads but I am going make an exception here. I don’t know any of you personally so this is not directed at any individual person. Having all of the necessary or even desired certs is not a solid guarantee that you will land a spot in your next step. Work on your brand as well. Your reputation can negatively or positively impact your outcome when it comes to hiring decisions. Be the best at who you are right now. If you are currently in a line position find somebody to mentor you, to give you honest and candid areas in which are you excelling as well as areas that you can improve.

As an example only, if you are someone who is viewed as a top firefighter in your current role, being a leader in your peers, going the extra mile is going to put you ahead of somebody who is viewed as just doing the tasks at hand, needs to always be prompted to do things, or clearly sees the current assignment as a stepping stone to the next position.

Be that person who is sought after and can be relied upon.
