Preparation for the Police Interview
The interview for any job is one of the most critical moments that can make (or break) your chances at
acquiring the job. There are some imperative Do's and Dont's for having a successful police interview,
so make sure you perfect these things before blowing your big chance.
What You Must Do:
- Dress to impress. Wear a dark suit with a subtle tie
- Get a haircut and be clean-shaven
- Don't use any strong colognes or perfumes
- Make sure your car is clean, inside and out (some places check your car to see if you are a neat/organized person)
- Act enthusiastic and smile when greeted
- Tell the truth - they will find out one way or the other if you don't
- Bring multiple copies of your resume (1 for each interviewer)
- Rehearse answering potential questions and do your best to relax
- Ask the interviewers 2-3 questions (it shows you are interested)
- Be on time
