Anybody that knows or been through an interview like this.. I had an interview today for a police officer position. I am an auxiliary officer with this department and have been for 4 years, know most of the guys, higher ups, etc. Today was the interview for a full time position. The interview went well, however a few times, the police chief mentioned things like, "if you don't get it this time, we're going to be hiring a lot next year.." and "don't get discouraged, your application will remain on file for a year" He mentioned that a few times. He asked about 5 questions about me. When he said that I started to get worried.. I go to all the training, calls, etc.. however, when they mention things like that, is that a bad sign? Or do they tell that to everbody? I know people on the department and I am sure my lieutenant on the department will put a word in for me?

Dont get discouraged. They do that to everybody as they can only hire one or two people and they have a lot of applications. They will hire only on merit and if you are as good as you say you stand the best chance of getting hired, especially as you already work there.

It could be a sign that he feels others are more appropriate for the position but it's hard to tell not knowing the interviewer. Good luck either way. :)
