Also I got cught when i was 15 stealing beer out of my neighbors garage. no charges tho.

Is a history of suspended license enough to get dropped from the medic hiring processing.

Dadgerbob83, Nothing you can do until you back in Chicago. You would have to get certified in the state before you can put your name on the CFD hire list.

Hiring freeze? No word on that. Looks like a new class is processing.

Hello,

I am a Navy Corpsman stationed over in Japan and am origically from the Chicago area. I am trying to go back to Chicago after I am done with the military in three years. I will have my paramedic and want to get hired to the FD as a medic and hopefully work over to the fire side. can anyone give me any info on how i could get started from online here. or a rough idea oh how long the process takes.

390's here

Does anybody know anything about a hiring freeze ? Will this affect the candidates that finished the final phase of processing ?

what number was the last list started from?

the list is based off the last digit of your social security number

how do they go about giving people numbers for this new group? is it based off your social like it was for the fire test?

Hello everyone. I've mentioned it before, but I was hired by CFD as a paramedic about a year ago and would be more than happy to answer any questions you guys have during the process. This is the best job in the world. I am very happy for everyone getting processed. Give me a PM so we don't bog down the chatbox. Anyways Good Luck to everyone.

I assume the list should be opening soon. But you know how that goes. Heard someone in the 520ish got his packet so they are definetly near the end of the list. Keep your eyes glued to this site! Good luck guys

I hope so too because I need the list to open! haha. Good luck to everyone that just received their letters!

Sorry as mentioned it was something I heard IE not something set in stone but hopefully everyone gets on

yeah I don't think there is any way the city would wait till the next fire test to hire medics seeing as, if the trend continues as it has since 1985, the next test won't be until 2015. The city has, as far as I have seen it, opened up the medic list every 3-4 years shortly after the old list finishes.

Well if they are in the 400's then they should be pretty close to opening a new list because Daley said he is mad about the overtime. They need to keep hiring after these 100 or so are done with the process.

new medic list possibly when the next fire test is what i heard??

any rumors of a new list starting?

Remember how much you wanted this job and stay hungry. It'll get you through the academy and hopefully a long career with us. Good luck to all of you.

Recieved my packet. I am 419. Good luck to everyone.
