Common Questions

What does a Conditional Job Offer entail?

Conditional Job Offers usually have 4 conditions attached to them:

1. Medical Evaluation

2. Driver’s Abstract

3. Vulnerable Sector Check (Police Check)

4. References

How much does the BHC Mentorship Program cost?

Pricing for Interview Prep, Custom Cover Letter and Resume can all be found under THE PROGRAM page.

How long does it take to receive a custom cover letter and custom resume?

The turnaround time depends on the Member. 

How much time the Member has available, how hard they work and how quickly they can move.

If there is a posting a Member would like to apply to, BHC will be very clear on the turnaround time obligations.

BHC does not work at midnight the night before the posting closes.

What courses or volunteer opportunities do you recommend?

Please download and review the Black Helmet Consulting FREE ROAD MAP to assist in your career path planning.

Is your Mentorship Program in-person or virtual?

One in-person session is mandatory. After this session all work is remote via e mail or text.

If you require additional assistance we can schedule a phone call.

Why is there homework?

There is no secret sauce with interview preparation. You must put your nose to the grindstone and work at your pace, but remember once a posting comes out there is a limited time frame to apply.

The time to start interview prep is yesterday.

What is the secret to getting hired?

The hiring process is not static and there are many moving parts.

You have to stay focused with your eye on the prize at all times.

There is NO SECRET way to get hired.

What worked for one Member may not be the road map for the next Member. Do not look sideways.

We craft and follow your custom plan. The 3 words I hate are “SOMEONE TOLD ME”.

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!
