The Ultimate DPS Question

[MickeyEars]

All applicants, newhires and interns..............

Hypothetically Speaking (of course)

1. If you wanted to be an intern TOMORROW or ASAP, prior to the 09 class..........what is the very first thing you would do............then second..........third..........etc?

Sorry to sound so "out of touch", but there is a good reason. Despite what I would consider effort on my part...............I sit at home everyday wondering which way to jump and at the end of the day seem to get no closer to a law enforcement career.

I need to nail down something within the next 90 days or forget it!!

Patience is a virture my friend....esp during the hiring process. It's not an overnight or 2 week process. Most departments take months. Keep the faith.

stop settin around and get the application turned in. once that happens you will start the hiring process, and within 3-4 months, if all goes well, you'll be hired. call a recruiter tomorrow.

Which recruiter did you go through? Is one faster than the other?

After I put my application in I got my invitation with in a month and a half and started the intern program the following week. So just have patience. I was fresh out of the service and sat around too. Start running and get a part time job to pass the time. Just hang in there.

If you get you app in soon enough you can start the internship before the end of the year. They told me if i get accepted, I could intern in october and i applied last week in July. I won't be able to start the internship in october bc I dont graduate until Dec 13, so im waiting until Jan 09 to start.

So let me get this straight, you are not law enforcement period, but you have all these strong opinions about how screwed up DPS is?

Please I am looking for some clarification here.
