G B I (new thread)

[MacLeod]

Thought I'd start a new thread since the last one was fairly dated.

What have you guys heard?

Who's still in the running?

[casey_rf]

Haven't heard a thing... Hopefully we will see/hear something in December!

[scubaphil23]

We do not know what the exam cut off score is. Hopefully we'll know soon. Thanks for all your help regarding the information you have posted Macleod. I am hoping the cut off score is not higher than 75.

Per conversation with the Personnel lady today, the cut off score is 74.

[Can22]

Really? That's good news. Did she say any word on when they will send out interview invites?

[casey_rf]

If that is the case then I am thrilled. I made a 74 and did not think that-that score would even be close.

My fingers are crossed tight in hopes the info you received is correct!

Does anybody know if it will be PT first and then interview or the other way around? Their hiring process looks to have the same steps as the GSP.

Beav, the GBI website (http://www.ganet.org/gbi/specagt.html) states in the selection process for SA that the personal interview is first, followed by the PT. So I would imagine that if you are successful in the interview, then they will evaluate your physical fitness level.

Just my interpretation.

[MacLeod]

I'll make some calls about the PT issue and see what the deal is.

[MacLeod]

OK...the PT test does follow your interview. It is modeled after the Army PFT; push-ups, sit-ups, and 2 mile run. I will check with a buddy at Training to see if applicants have to "pass" or just demonstrate a proficiency. Also, there is a trigger pull test after the PT test.

2 miles... I don't even like to drive that far much less run it! Macleod, do you know if the PT is the same day as your interview or will it be scheduled at a later date?

Should be same day.

FYI: Read several threads in the Fitness forum for tips on how to decrease your run time. I also have some tips that I can share with you.

[beav71]

In the GSP process the first interview is just to make sure that all your application marterials are in the right order, so they can get ball rolling. The fit exam is on the same day. Then panel interview would come at a later date. I noticed that both hiring processes look to follow same path. Maybe Macleod could find out if the first interview is the panel or not.

Spoke with GBI today and they did confirm the cutoff of 74 and above. Looks like I will at least get an interview !

Best of luck to those who will be getting an interview as well. In my excitement, I forgot to ask her when they will be sending out packets! Does anyone know when they will be sending those out?

[Josh4507]

Well,

Whats going to be the standard for the PT? Check in with your max. for the three tests.

Tried yesterday:
48 sit-up in 2 min
52 push ups in 2 min
17:30 2 mi. run
