WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE PHYSICAL ABILITIES TEST AND THE ORAL INTERVIEW? WHAT HAPPENS IF I DONT PASS?
A detailed diagram of the Physical Abilities Test (PAT) is available. Just click on this link http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=32732. Many applicants tell us that the PAT is not as easy as it seems however most people in reasonably good physical condition pass this portion of the process. During the oral interview the applicant will be asked questions by a board of three persons. We will assess your judgment and communication skills. Be prepared to answer questions regarding scenarios that are presented to you. This interview takes about one hour. When the PAT and oral interview are successfully completed, the applicant moves to the background phase. If not successful, the applicant can take the next written test to restart the process.
