Kevin Sheerin and his experienced legal team are here to provide aspiring law enforcement professionals with the insights and strategies needed to succeed in fulfilling their dreams of becoming an NYPD Police Officer. Kevin has more than 21 years of experience helping candidates navigate the challenges of the NYPD hiring process. This post will enlighten you about the fourth of many mistakes made during the application process and how you can avoid this mistake. If you are in the process of applying to the NYPD or are planning to apply, then this post is a must read, as these missteps can delay your progress, jeopardize your candidacy or even lead to disqualification. However, with the proper preparation and mindset you can overcome these challenges and stay on track in order to achieve your goal.
Mistake Number Four: Lack of preparation for the oral interview. The oral interview is another area where candidates often falter. This is your chance to make a strong impression and demonstrate your suitability for the job. This is where candidates go wrong. Showing up unprepared and unable to clearly articulate why you want to join the NYPD or failing to demonstrate knowledge about the department’s missions, values, and challenges or being too casual, or overly rehearsed for their responses or not knowing or presenting accurate information about where you went to school or when you went to school or how your grades were or if you were on academic probation, are all crucial errors that can hurt your chances. You must know all of your jobs, including your start and end dates and why you left. To avoid these mistakes, you should spend time thinking about your past and have all of your relevant documents together. You may want to create a timeline or grid that you can study so you will readily know all of the schools you attended and all of the jobs you have had, so that you are able to respond properly.
The 6 biggest mistakes NYPD candidates make during the application process are: 1- Not being honest on your application, 2- Poor preparation for the psychological evaluation, 3- Ignoring financial or legal issues, 4- Lack of preparation (ie: not doing your homework) before the oral psychological interview, 5- Missing deadlines or failing to follow instructions, and 6- Not seeking help when needed.
These missteps can keep you from fulfilling your dream of becoming an NYPD officer. If you have already made some of these mistakes DO NOT PANIC. There are steps you can take to recover.
