Candidates from the final eligible register will be interviewed at Seattle Fire Department Headquarters in a formal business interview.

This interview will include a discussion of the candidate's Personal History Questionnaire, which includes driving history, traffic citations, criminal record, education, employment experience, financial history, military background, and other related skills and qualifications. Candidates are advised to be forthright in the information provided.

Any misrepresentation may be cause for disqualification from consideration as a Firefighter candidate.

Keep in mind that the Seattle Fire Department will always interview more candidates than there are anticipated job vacancies.

Participation in the Employment Interview is not an assurance of moving further in the competitive Pre-Employment Process.
