When facing the oral board panel there are some questions that are predictable, meaning there are some questions that you'll be asked no matter where you live. And then there are other questions like the hypothetical judgment questions that's a lot harder to predict. But the three questions below are common among the police interview process. Read them carefully to gain some insight on what to expect during the interview process.
Tell the panel about your biggest weakness?
This question may seem a little straight forward, and to the point, but it's a question that can turn the momentum of the interview in your favor if you answer it correctly. When you address your weakness to the police oral board panel, make sure that the weakness you're about to share doesn't hinder your abilities to do the job. Using strengths as weakness is common along candidates who face the panel, but be careful that your answer don't sound scripted.
What are your career goals?
The panel is looking for specific answers, and not general responses. The board want to know if you have thought about your future, and where you aspire to be 5 or 10 years down the road. You should have both a short term and long term goal prepared and ready to deliver. A good short term goal would be to progress, and develop as a patrolman, and later apply for the drug unit.
Why did you leave your last job?
This particular question can be a trap questions if your resume sends a message that you've been "job-hopping." If the last job you held did not end well like if you were terminated, be careful not to speak ill of your former employer. If there were some good reasons for your departure express that to the panel. Some good reason for leaving your former job would be opportunity for advancement, career development, and seeking a more challenging position are all good answers.
