Default New Career

Haven't been around in quite awhile or doing much to any of my cars because I went back too school in Sept. after losing my job in the winter during the downturn in the economy. It was tough to say the least as I was alot older than the rest of the students, like twice their age. But as of yesterday I completed the last of the skills program of the Law Enforcement program at the local college.I was able to complete it quick because I already have a degree and only needed to do the core Law Enforcement courses. Now just need to get a job, I do have a second interview with the local Sheriff's office in a week and I hope that it works out as I only live down the street from there and it would be a quick drive.

You got your POST at 40? Grats, thats a hell of an achievement.

Also, a tip, try and look as young as you can at the interview. There are quite a few departments that wont hire if youre over 35. So look young but still professional.

Wont hire if your over 35?!??!? Dang it! I noticed that I'm getting to the age where getting an Australia work permit is going to be a challenge (see: http://www.workpermit.com/australia/..._shortage.htm).

Time to check out the age range for CentrumŪ SilverŪ.

Seriously, congrats!

Scott, Dodge, I already work for them doing prisoner transport and have been a volunteer there for about 5 yrs so I hope that helps a bit.

just to explain, the retirement system for most departments is so generous, they want to make sure you put in at least 20 years. Senior officers are in the $6900/mo range nowadays before OT, so they want to make sure they get their moneys worth.
