This morning I have my very first oral interview and physical agility test at a fire department. It is an internship for while I'm in school (working on my paramedic and fire science/fire protection technology aka firefighting degrees) and if I get the position it would be an awesome opportunity.

I've done interviews before and I've done physical agility tests before, but this is a new world. It's a standard process within the Fire/EMS fields but it has it's learning-to-ride-a-bike moments. To add to the fun I'll be competing against 18,19,20,21 year olds for the position. While in reality I am still young at 26, in firefighting that might as well be called middle aged.
Overall I'm excited and really hoping that I get the internship.
