[quote=pabloesqobar]Many people fail pre-employment psych exams. My wife (at the time) was worried about it when she was in the hiring process to join the SDPD. She made it thru fine, but many didn’t. There’s a good reason for that.[/quote]

Thank you for clarifying that. Most candidates cannot even GET to the “psych” exam part of the process because they couldn’t score high enough on the written exam, pass the physical exam, pass a strenuous background check, pass a polygraph and pass a credit check, lol! Of course, I passed all of these and was slated for training in GA (for 17 weeks, not 7 weeks as I previously stated). At that time, Public Law cut off the hiring age at 34 years, 10 months for these positions so I was unable to later reapply to a different agency for a similar position. Actually my “psych” interview took place in 1990.

These jobs are open to the public for a long period for a REASON, to garner as many applications as possible. The vast majority of applicants don’t make it to step 2 … or 3. A few Piggs posted that they felt these workers are feeding off some “gravy train.” Of course, they are all free to apply for the job themselves (if they are young enough or have previous POST training). At least you admitted you didn’t “need to.”

This is not the first time you have made insulting remarks to me, pablo. You have in the past come off on here sounding elitest and above reproach. I have a great memory ;=]
