But yeah, the dedicated career fairs tend to be a lot better..especially as you continue onward to college

my diploma was stolen in my parents safe — I still haven't gotten a replacement 😆

You also have to bring proof of residency when first applying. a phone bill or PG&E bill is what I used

I'm no buildingologist, but that seems sub-optimal

WIll also be required to enter Federal facilitties (whatever that means, scope-wise).

TBH if folks haven't gotten the new ID yet, they have no excuse. I got mine in 2019

like, do you want them to drive by your house every day with a huge banner detailing every position open? lol

the career fair at my high school was absolute piss, if you weren't going into something like tech or law, they were basically like "so do you want to work at mcdonalds or starbucks" to which I was like "fuck off yo"

it's less about that, more about introducing the fact that there are utility roles that might not be as public-facing but suit one's needs/wants better

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:03

no, but certainly they'd want a media correspondent

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:03

modern version of this title would likely fall under "social media manager"

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:02

so not all departments have a photographer and it's usually not a paid role

but look for positions as a Public Information Officer (or something similar)

Honestly I think "hey kids stop drop and roll and call 911 if you need us" were about all I could handle

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 22:53

yeah but they never tell you that you don't have to be THE MUHFUCKA FIGHTING THE FIRES and there are other roles within the department that need filling, including ones that are FUNCTIONALLY ART BASED 👀

the lines, the colors, the happy lil nappy kitto, this bitch is ART

That's what a good career counselor is SUPPOSED to do. But many schools got rid of them due to budget cuts and spending that money on Teach to the Test

My original birth certificate was lost in one of my many moves. Had to get a certified copy from the SF Department of Vital Records or whatever it's called

01 May 2025 23:20

it's ok, I fixed it *nod*

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:18

I've had mine for awhile — I have to renew next year actually 😆

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:07

I mean, 50% yes, but also 50% they can focus on jobs that aren't the kinds of things that are in literally every children's book already XDDDDD

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:07

well, thats your school's problem unfortunately, not the fire fighters

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:05

honestly for something like that, its better to check out a career fair

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:03

that is one possible title but I work under the Public Information Officer

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:03

social media didnt exist when I was a kid

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:03

I mean, every building has to have a janitor, I dont think CCCFD needs to recruit janitors though

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 23:01

aside from that, I feel like they don't do a good job of representing different roles that one might encounter within any given workplace, it's always sorta just "here's the main thing and don't worry about anything else" with all that

SF Bay Furs

01 May 2025 22:55

They could have said all that but i was 8 and barely remember lol

In like 2nd or 3rd grade we took a field trip to the firefighter training center in concord
