Thank you all that kept up with me and helped me out, the initial interview was quite interesting they threw many curve balls and asked questions that made me really organize my thoughts. I was scared poopless but above all, I made it to the next of many bases for the interview with the chief. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions keep them coming.

Congrats! Don't deviate from your orginal answers and you're G2G!!! I remember my favorite question, "What made you want to go from local to federal?"

No joke, can someone please tell me about local, federal, municipal, etc? Nevertheless i will be looking it up! Before my next interview.

With OPD they asked questions based on various scenarios. If _____ happened what would you do?, then after you answer they ask..if you could change anything what would it be? They were trying to see if I would change my mind about my first answer. Which I did not, kinda testing to see if you're sure of yourself or not. Also they asked about what life/work experiences I believed would be helpful in my career. Another was in regards to conflicts at work and how you deal with them. We were told that the people giving the interview would not respond at all to your answers. It was a bit strange as after each answer nobody said a word. I currently have another interview at the end of the month, hope that goes well too.

FYI: I was told in Oakland to always wear a suit unless we were doing the agility test. So dress to impress always.

Good job bro! I have found chief/admin interviews to be a bit more relaxed, but as you have been told/found out, anything can happen!

Thank you sir for your support through this via forum communication, right now I'm just remembering their titles and names, chief, captain, Lt, etc.
