What can I say about Black Helmet Consulting.... I had tried another company for resume and cover letter building, and found myself still wanting the same service I'd already paid to receive. I made the choice to go with my gut and reach out to Black Helmet Consulting. I've never been more impressed with the knowledge and skill brought to the table in an effort to make me the best I can be BEFORE I was hired on for the job I was seeking. It's an incredible feeling knowing someone has your back from start to finish. It's not something I'm accustomed to, but it's an attitude and atmosphere that breeds success that I wish everyone could have in their lives. If you want to be the best, you work with the best. Tomm is that and 100% more. I know there's no way I'll be able to do for him what he's done for me. All I can do is offer my statement of gratitude and promise that all who seek his guidance will find success. Every step of the way, Black Helmet Consulting.

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!

If you’re serious about becoming a firefighter, Tomm is the coach you need. He’s fully committed to your success and only works with people ready to put in the effort to get the job done. Tomm helped me strengthen my resume, provided invaluable interview prep advice, and gave me the right tools to succeed in a tough hiring process. What sets him apart is his dedication—he stays with you every step of the way until you’re hired. His focused approach gets results, but you’ve got to be ready to work. The sooner you start prepping, the more confident and prepared you’ll be to crush your next interview! Thank you, BHC, for your time, effort, and encouragement to help me reach my potential. Thanks to your guidance, I’m proud to say I landed a job with Toronto Fire Services!

I first started applying for full-time structural firefighting jobs about two years ago. After my first unsuccessful interview, I recalled hearing about Black Helmet Consulting from a friend and decided to reach out. This decision made all the difference. Tomm sat with me for hours to help me craft my life experiences into a story, which showed why I was a good candidate. By putting in the effort and with the help of Tomm's guidance, I was able to finally secure a firm offer with the department I was hoping for. I highly recommend Black Helmet Consulting. Thank you Tomm!

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.

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 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.
