FROM THE EMAIL

Hey, quick question and I am sure you get lots of there:


A friend of a friend took the test for OEMC and they said they were number 40 on the list and they hired 31. Do you know how often they hire or if they plan on hiring again soon? I am just amazed they hired 31 like they say! Anyway I appreciate any info you have. Normally I would of just told the person who asked me "how the hell would I know?" but this guy is so nice I could not give him the "business"

I appreciate any info you may have...

Have a great day!

  1. This is not official but: I was told there won't be any hiring for a while and they were lucky to get anyone, that's why there was such a big class. They got approved for 31 positions based on shortages of call takers and dispatchers. Some of them will move up eventually. There is no set schedule for hiring.

    I believe they lost 2 or 3 from the class already but I don't know if they call people on the list to fill those spots.

  3. Number 40 would have been #7 if he/she had the Magic phone call, a Chinaman-Rabbi-Reverend, a sealed envelope with a LARGE CASH DONATION to the local Alderscum, or a last name ending in DALEY.

  4. I guess they were also given a letter of contingency saying the ones on the list would be hired before they posted the position again-LMAO on that one. In the city nothing is for sure even when you get the job. My advice to them basically was don't hold your breath and go apply other places.

  5. I am happy about the new hires......but it would have been smart to hire new dispatchers who are cross-trained to do call-taking and dispatching....i'm just saying..good luck to the new class!

  6. Do they ever hire part timers with experience?

  7. There was talk that dispatcher spots might be opened so call takers can apply. We are short on both and not all of the new hires will want to take it. It might balance out in the end.
