I am preparing for my interview and I decided to write my own answer to two of the most popular interview questions. Could you please read my answers and tell me what you think? Do you happen to remember the killer closing statement you gave at your interview?


Q: tell us about your self

A: I was born and raised in the bay area of California and I am a college graduate. I studied Martial arts for 5 years which taught me self-defense, self-confidence, discipline, concentration, and respect. The last 14 years I have worked in restaurant and grocery industry where I communicated with people from different races, cultures and backgrounds. working in the restaurant and grocery industry helped me develop and enhanced my interpersonal skills with the public that I feel is necessary for a job in law enforcement.

Q: is there is anything you would like to ask or add

A: you all have asked some good questions and I believe we have covered my qualifications extensively. however I have worked very hard to prepare my self for this position and if given the opportunity to perform I will give 100 and ten percent to be the best sheriffs deputy possible.

It looks good, but I would not use the martial arts as what taught you confidence and disapline... Use more past experiences. When you get into the academy class, atleast when I went through, if you knew any martial arts or karate they tell you to forget everything you learned. We all know if you are getting your butt wooped on the street your going to break out some moves but, if you do a round house kick on a guy and knock him out. You just stepped out of the umbrella of protection from the agency. Atleast that is how it was in AZ... I don't know about CA.

Most everyone knows what it takes to be a great police officer. Tell them how your life experiences have lead you up to that position in a way that you are talking about yourself....

Hope that helps alittle..
