Regarding the recent posts of openings for Ft lauderdale and Hollywood I had a few questions.
I am currently graduating with my BS in Criminal Justice as of May 2011.
Considering that most places hiring uncertified are also hiring certified, and that there are lots of certified applicants, what kind of chances does an uncertified applicant have?
for example: FLPD has 30 slots open. ~2000 applicants. Lets say more than half are certified. How could they not find 30 great candidates from a pool like that.
I am thinking since I have the funds available to sponsor myself, I should just take the leap and pay for it. This is knowing that I would have done everything possible to make myself a marketable candidate. BS degree from FIU, 420hrs of internship with MBPD, great credit (no loans), employed, pretty acceptable background.
Thanks for your insight. It seems like a good sign these departments are looking at uncertified applicants, but realizing that tons of people with similar or better backgrounds may have already put themselves through the academy makes me worried about putting in applications.
