very informal book, but withdraw my application

Very informal book great information goes into great detail. But I withdrew my application from the fire brigade because of this book. As the book describes you have been more of a public speaker then a firefighter these days that's not for me so withdrew my application.

Informative

I purchased this audiobook as I am aware the career of a firefighter is extremely competitive. Listening to this has given me a huge insight into what is expected from each applicant and I'd like to think that now I have an advantage over many other applicants when I next apply. Well worth a listen if you are serious about becoming a firefighter.

A useful Tool, preferred the book.

I found this audiobook to be a useful tool to listen to whilst driving etc but preferred the book. The information at times is hard to comprehend in the way it’s delivered verbally but much easier when reading it physical from the book. Definitely worth getting and using when driving as I say, to get that extra studying in.
