I have a question for all the people that have been through this before. What is considered a good ranking? I know most places are not hiring because of budget cuts and it is going to be a long shot to get on but i thought I would ask anyways. The reason I ask is because I am ranked 4th, tied with 3 others. The other rankings don't matter because I am not a resident but they were 42, 59, and 142. The only problem is that I live in a small town with only about 20,000 people so I don't think think the department will be hiring. I have my fingers crossed though. I was just wondering if I should cross them a little tighter or just start studying for the next exam........Sometimes I wish I was a veteran.
they also have me listed as a female, and the last time I checked I definately wasn't a female. Trying to get into the Law Enforcement field, sometimes I wish I was a female though.
Im glad im not the only one they have listed as a female, I was getting a complex----I shot HRD an email asking them to please change it, and to call if they need any proof!!!! 8)

Anyone having a problem with the list? Only one town shows on mine, and it's not even my "residency preference" town! I tried calling HRD, but that was a waste of time. I left a message, and an email, but I won't hold my breath...let me know if anyone else is having the same problem...thanks in advance!
EMT is like being bilingual. It only helps when the departments requests an EMT List. I don't think HRD will mail out standings. You can go there and get them on the spot.
yea i was listed as female too...weirdness...here are my results...

Ok, so honestly how much of a shot do I have here in Raynham? Think I could go down to the dept and they might be able to tell me or what?
Hey, ELO, take a lesson in tact, your facetiousness wasn't as apparent as you may have believed and I still find your comment derogatory. It's all funny and HA-HA about the several members of the board who were mistakenly classified as females on the civil service list, but your little "joke" sounds to me like you're saying it's degrading to be a woman.
Personally, I think it's great to have a vagina. Sorry if you really do feel like you'd develop a complex if you had one.
From looking at everyones rankings, seems like putting down the MBTA is almost a waste of a choice. Might have been better to put down some small town.
Im glad I didnt take the MBTA but some of the towns I chose (small compared to others in the area) have me so far down on the list compared to residents that i'd need the whole dept to turn over about 3 times to even get considered. Damned if you do and damned if you dont I guess.

I'm diffently dumping MBTA, Ranking 377 is almost as bad as NOT taking the exam, o.k with a different of $50.00 :twisted:
I have already heard from 4 canidates that got "left" of Haverhill's list, W.T.F. is HRD doing down there? They had about 7 months to get it right :evil:
AUCTION: I'll trade my MBTA spot for a 30 ranking somewhere else, plus i'll throw in a pair of S&W hinged cuffs (never used on any REAL criminals)
Ware: #17 (alone, only 16 on the list before me!! no ties for #1 thru 17!!) :wink:
Palmer (PR): #21 - 4 ties
Southbridge: #29 - 4 ties
Charlton (PR): #35 - 5 ties
