MEMBERS WITH OFFERS

I wanted to email you to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help. I received a conditional offer from Toronto Fire Services. I have completed my medicals and am just waiting on references and the firm offer letter. If you remember, I was the critical thinker, I studied your binder day in and day out. It was the best piece of information I had in my corner. I read every page and whenever I thought I had a question to ask I found it in the binder. It was like I was talking to you through text. Absolutely fantastic! I had a total of 5 interviews before I joined the BHC Mentorship Program. I rocked my 6th interview with Toronto Fire Services. Page two of the binder "Talent matters but practice matters more", couldn't agree more. Thank you Tomm. Without you this journey would not be possible. I'm excited for what the future has to hold.

Black Helmet Consulting really is the industry standard when it comes to preparing for a Fire Department interview. Tomm and his team gave me what I needed to land my dream career by showing me exactly what I had to do to get the interview, prepare properly and have a successful outcome. I highly recommend Black Helmet Consulting to anyone looking to get hired.

Just reaching out to thank you Tomm for your support. You have been an integral component to my Toronto Fire Services journey and I'm grateful for the level of professionalism that you have displayed and the wisdom and knowledge that you have passed on to me. We've only known each other for a few months but the thoroughness of the Black Helmet Consulting Mentorship Program and transfer of information was apparent through our meetings. This has clearly been the icing on the cake I needed to help prepare me to feeling comfortable and confident during my interview so that I could execute and attain my conditional offer from the Toronto Fire Services. Thank you Tomm we crossed the finish line!

I didn’t seem to be getting anywhere in the Fire Service hiring process until I found Black Helmet Consulting. Interview prep was top notch and the follow up support helped to build my confidence. I have never felt more competent and confident going into an interview. I landed my dream career as a Firefighter and I highly recommend the Black Helmet Consulting Program to anyone pursuing their Firefighter dreams.

After completing my Firefighter Pre-Service certification, I started on my journey pursuing a Fire Service career. I worked with Tomm and followed the Black Helmet Consulting Program which helped me to become a more attractive Fire Service candidate. With my new resume and custom cover letter, I secured interviews and received two conditional offers! I accepted to work with my dream department and can’t thank Tomm enough. The interview prep put me over the top. We did it.

If you are serious about getting a Firefighter career, I highly recommend the Black Helmet Consulting Program. After working with Tomm, I felt confident heading into two interviews, passing them both. We built out my personal stories and displayed the character needed to join the Fire Service. Put your head down, do the work and listen to the years of experience that is supporting you. We did it. I am so happy. Thanks Tomm.

Getting hired in the Fire Service is a challenging and competitive task. Finding someone who is knowledgeable and can guide you through the process is essential. Tomm and the Black Helmet Consulting Program have been instrumental in me reaching my full potential. Interview prep allowed me to see the full picture while gaining competence and confidence in the interview process. I highly recommend Black Helmet Consulting for anyone seeking a Fire Service career!

EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Do not be fooled by inexperience or discounts

The only thing that I need to say about Tomm and the Black Helmet Consulting Process is that it works.

I have wanted to be a firefighter ever since I was a little kid. Once I had lined up everything in order to handle my responsibilities outside of fire, I knew that getting some coaching would help me get an extra edge.

Tomm's method ultimately provides you with focus and confidence. I became more focused in my approach to building my resume. I then used his thorough and introspective process to help craft my interview gameplan. Once I had those two things locked down I was able to practice efficiently and have a lot of confidence when I got my shot to interview.

To be honest, before starting with Tomm I was woefully under prepared to deal with the Firefighting application process. Some of the habits and best practices that worked in the business world needed to be broken down and reconstructed. Tomm helped me put in the RIGHT work and when I got to the interview I was able to crush it. First interview and then landed the dream job.

My wife and I laugh about it but she says that Tomm is "like my Fire Dad". He brings you into the Black Helmet Consulting Family and connects you with people that can help keep you accountable. If you put in the work he will stop at nothing to make sure you're putting your best foot forward.

I just got my offer from Markham Fire a couple days ago and it is crazy because I just graduated from Pre-Service 14 months ago. Having the coach to guide me is absolutely one of the biggest things to help me be successful.

Thanks Tomm!

Getting hired is a daunting task. I attended my first interview and made a huge mistake not knowing how to prepare. I joined the Black Helmet Consulting Program and never made that mistake again. There is no BS with Tomm. You better be ready to hear it like it is and that involves hard work and discipline to prepare yourself for the interview. We developed all of the content that I needed and then I went to work. There is no magic to nailing an interview. Follow the binder and see the results. Thanks Tomm!
