I'm just looking for a few answers or insights if you will from some of you LEO's who have been around and seen a lot. My question is about my qualifications to become a LEO. First I want to say that I know that it will depend who I am up against and stuff like that but here it goes:
I'm 21 I will be 22 in August and it will be until I'm at least 23 before I begin applying but I'm trying to do my best to make myself an attractive applicant right now. I play Division 1 baseball which I am hoping will look good in the area of commitment, ability to work in a team setting and also physical ability to perform job requirements as well as following orders and obeying regulations (NCAA). I have never received a traffic citation and have no criminal history. My credit is rated at "Good". I will have a Bachelor's degree next summer in Exercise Science/Kinesiology. The only thing I am worried about is lack of prior employment. I had one job when I was 17 but had to leave after a few weeks because the employer refused to work with me around my busy baseball schedule as I was looking to play at the collegiate level so of course I did a lot of travel during that time. One thing though: When I was hired they said they would work with me with regards to hours but never did.
So will lack of employment be a negative or will I be able to explain my situation when/if asked?
Thank you guys/girls in advance for any insight you may have.
