SUCCESS STORIES FROM A FEW OF MY STUDENTS
"Chief Guccione pushed me and guided me to where I have achieved my goal and give back to my community. The program helped make it personal and calmed my nerves. Chief Guccione showed me how to stand out among hundreds of candidates."
Andy Mehas
Firefighter/Paramedic, Henderson Fire Department, Nevada
"You gave me the tools in bringing forth my skills, knowledge, and abilities during my interview. Your program is different than any other coaching program because it allows you to give proper answers without sounding canned. It gives you the ability to have a candid discussion with the interview panel, and the confidence in knowing is you and your background."
Richard Fendley
Firefighter, Oakville Fire Department, Ontario, Canada
"I couldn't have realized my dream without Chief Dean and his Oral Interview Academy. My interview score skyrocketed to the top of the list. I had been testing for 7 or 8 years and never get a call back for a chief's interview or background. Chief Guccione was there for me and helped me push through some setbacks and I finally got the job!"
Jeff Wallner
Firefighter, Hartford Fire Department, Connecticut
"I couldn't afford to take the time to figure this out by trial and error. With Chief Guccione, I felt he was honest and he helped me understand what departments are looking for in a candidate, and other programs didn't explain that. It's one of the greatest investments I've made so far! It will help you get the job, especially with his guidance and coaching, and you will get a positive return because you will learn how to organize your thoughts so you can stand out to the panel."
Daniella Montiel
Firefighter/Paramedic, Hallandale Fire Department, Florida
"Getting hired was a long and frustrating process, but getting feedback was invaluable. Knowing to what extent you should answer interview questions was also something that I needed. Chief Guccione even interviewed me at one point and I knew immediately that I didn't have the job. I was clear that I didn't know what was expected of me in the interview. Having the information that you gave me in the Firefighter Oral Interview Academy enabled me to understand and actually exceed those expectations. Thank you!"
Pierce Williams
Firefighter, San Jose Fire Department, California
"Before your program, I would struggle and get caught up in my own thoughts, lose track and forget critical key talking points, which is why I didn't do well before the Firefighter Oral Interview Academy. What helped me the most was the way Chief Guccione broke down the questions and gave examples of what the panel was actually looking for in an answer using my own personal experiences."
