The interview process was completely demeaning and degrading. In total I spent over 5.5 hours between 2 days being tested and interviewed (not including travel time to get there). The first part was a test which was fine (this took 2 hours). Then there was a group interview. This is where things got degrading. We had to put together a contraption involving an egg, paper plates, straws, and tape and build it with 2 other people in such a way that the egg would not break when dropped from a high platform. We had to repeat this step with other group members and finally, do it with toilet paper instead of the plate. Then we went into a boardroom and were interviewed as a group by someone else. We were told to plan to spend 2 hours there. It took nearly 3 and a half hours. The group interview felt extremely demeaning and a very insufficient and quite frankly, STUPID way to go about choosing the next emergency communication dispatchers. I feel it was a huge waste of time. No wonder there are so many reports that this center is insufficiently staffed. This is how they choose the next 911 dispatchers -- ridiculous.
