Services

Welcome to Windrush Fire Coaching. We aren’t like the other guys... You won’t be receiving a copy and paste resume from someone who's never been on a fire truck. Windrush Fire has programs that are built to take a deep dive into who you are, where you've been and what you need to work on to make your dream a reality. We want to get to know you. At Windrush we know that successful candidates are prepared for applications both mentally and physically. That's why we offer specialized coaching for both fitness testing and application preparation. 


It's important to realize that successful candidates prepare for the interview before they receive the interview request. If you are scrambling to prepare stories and answers a week before that critical day, you're already under prepared. Interview prep should be done once candidates have completed OFAI and are in the application stage. That week in between interview request and interview should be spent on learning the department, not learning about yourself and how to speak eloquently under pressure. Windrush isn't about preparing you with 'the questions', our goal is to prepare you for all fire interviews. This takes work, and dedication to excellence, but always leads to success. How bad do you want it? Let's get after it.


Packages are listed below. If you have any questions please feel free to email us. 

Additional hours can be purchased upon request. 


PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NOW A WAIT LIST FOR SOME SERVICES. 

PLEASE CONTACT FOR AVAILABILITY!


All packages must be utilized within one year of purchase. Please allow one to two weeks lead time for appointments and booking.

Mentorship

     With Windrush Fire Coaching, you’re more than our client. We offer continuing contact and advice during the recruitment process for Mentorship clients. We know how it feels to be at a dead end, and unsure what you’re doing wrong or where to go next. Included in your package are phone sessions that you can use at any time during your application process. You receive three additional hours that you can book together or one hour each separately. Some candidates use this time to prepare for a second interview, some use it for an interview with a different department, some use it to prep for OFAI recertifications, some use it for general advice and encouragement. Everyone’s journey is unique and we offer this flexibility to suit your needs.  


Cost for the Mentorship Package is $2000


Please note: All minimum qualifications for hiring (DZ, EMR, 1001, 1072/472, OFAI 1-3) should be completed.  

          

JUST THE INTERVIEW PACKAGE

Interview Preparation and Workshop

Interview Prep should begin BEFORE you apply, and before your interview request. You need to invest time into self reflection and generating a catalog of solid Situational and Behavioral answers before you begin thinking about a specific department.

  • A one on one virtual discussion on how fire interviews are conducted, scored and ranked.  Interview questions and core competencies will be discussed. Review of past interview preparation, past interviews and highlighting core competencies to discuss. 
  • The Windrush Fire Interview Preparation Workshop: an in depth worksheet and information package for candidates to complete on their own to generate stories and answers. This workshop sets you up for success in any department's interview by generating thoughtful responses to Behavioral and Situational Competency questions. Guidance on Core Competencies that today's departments are looking for, as well as a category system to quickly identify and execute your answers.
  • A two hour virtual video coaching session on the completed worksheet. A deep dive into your answers, your stories and what departments are looking for from you. How to best word your answers, virtual rehearsal, key phrases and STAR delivery if necessary.
  • An additional flex hour of coaching for any fire interview.  
  • If a specific department is being prepared for, please specify ahead of time. 
  • Please note that this Workshop package takes over a week to complete. 


Cost for the Interview Preparation & Workshop is $1500

Cover Letter and Resume Package

  • Applying and not hearing back? Chances are you need a resume re-work!

  • Live editing workshops through Google Docs once the resume has been professionally edited     
  • Resume point system implemented into your resume and explained

"I have nothing but praise for Windrushfire. I was on a time crunch to prepare for a final interview, having less than two weeks to prep. Jess was quick to get back to me and set up a plan to take on this challenge. I was sent an extensive and concise workbook for me to get working on, which was thorough and really grasped the way the interview questions should be organized and answered. Jess was also at my disposal, always answering my questions and calls quickly and giving me invaluable insights. Windrushfire gave me the confidence and calmed my nerves, really getting to know me personally so I could better display my relevant life/work experiences. I can’t thank Jess enough and I will be recommending this service to anyone and everyone looking to kill their firefighting interview. I don’t think I would have gotten the job without her help."

"Windrush Fire Coaching couldn't have made my journey through the firefighter candidate testing and interview process any better.

"Windrush Fire was an integral part of my journey to become a firefighter. So much of the path requires an intimate knowledge of the process and the job to have the opportunity to interview, and secure an offer. Windrush Fire was an extremely worthwhile resource in this process. It allowed me to put my best foot forward at every step, and gave me the confidence that I was on the right path, and had what it takes. It allowed me to present myself in a way that made me a desirable applicant for any fire service that I applied to, and ensured that I tailored each application to highlight what that specific department was looking for. I cannot think of a single thing that I did during my period of applying that had as significant of an impact as hiring Windrush Fire."

"Jess played a big part in allowing me to obtain my dream job as a career firefighter: From OFAI prep work, one on one interview coaching and personal fitness advice, Jess was able to truly steer me in the right direction when applying to departments and achieving that final job offer. 

She is at the forefront of the firefighting industry and a dedicated individual with a passion of helping others succeed in their endeavors.

Thanks so much Jess and all the best, I would not have been able to do it without you."

"I was new to the OFAI experience and am so thankful for Jess' help. She provided specific tips and workouts to make my first attempt successful. I got lucky and got a date way earlier than I expected for my Stage Three so had limited time to prepare and couldn't have done it without the evolution's we went through. She was very accommodating to my schedule and her equipment was geared towards every aspect of FPAT and technical skills so I felt confident going in with the prep work we did. Thanks so much and would recommend her to everyone and have!!"

"Hey Jess! I just wanted to thank you for your help with my fire service interviews. We had a few interview practice sessions throughout 2021. During these interview sessions, I learned so much and you gave me the insight on how to be successful in my interviews. I've recently been hired as a career firefighter. Thank you very much for your services and helping me reach my dream goal in becoming a career firefighter"
