</3 Texas weather.

On my days off? Perfect motorcycle weather, like ~75F and sunny. Days I actually drive to work for the past two weeks and the coming week? AM Rain.

Blargh... I have a bit of a situation and would like some insight.

So I have a fire service test on the 23rd at a place with higher end pay, closer to home, but it is highly competitive with 800 total applicants, split testing into 400 fire/medic and medic only and 400 fire/EMT (I'm medic non-fire cert, so middle ground). They are non-civil service so they can hire whoever they please. However they are stating fire/medic preferred (so they move to the top of the list) followed by medic only.

If I pass their test and rank high enough I move on to the physical ability test on May 2nd. And that's where I hit a problem.

Another city is having their civil service on May 2nd. They are lower end of the pay spectrum, bit of a commute (about an hour). Still highly competitive, but they are civil service so they have to go in order of testing scores. They are also medic preferred so medics get jumped to the top of the list, but fire cert doesn't matter.

My problem is this. If I put in my application to test for the lower pay job, but then end up having to withdraw my application I get put on probation and am unable to test there for a year. But I also can't guarantee that I will score high enough against 800 others at the other city to actually make it to the physical (though I am a pretty smart cat and tend to test well).

So do I roll both applications and just accept I may get a black mark at one station, or do I just not apply for the second station and put all my eggs into the better overall job? Worst case on the second scenario is the civil service job may not hire again for god knows how long.

lollubbock

Anywho, <3 Texas weather.

Nothing tests your resolve more like 100 degree and sunny winters with a slight chance of freezing your *** off the next day.

I would put applications in both, and take the better job if you pass both.

-if you fail both, oh well
-if you fail good one, take second
-if you fail second, take good one
-if you pass both, can secure the good job and the black mark won't be as excruciating.

I can only test both if I don't rank high enough on the first test. Deadline for application at the civil service job is end of this week.
