well it sounds like things in Florida opperate alot different then things up north (which is where i assume youre from)
i took FF 1 & 2, at a local academy.... it was about 5 months. the written was tough, but not that bad as long as you study.
getting certified was not bad, as long as you just try and really want it.
getting hired is a diff story, each dept. has a diff process... some places do physical tests first, some do written exams... all depends
some place i applied, had 1 spot to hire, and like 300+ people applied.... terrible odds.
i think i applied at 15-17 diff depts, before i got on.... from up in Gainesville/Jacksonville all the way down both coasts of FL, even down into Key West FD.
i got mad lucky, my aunt is a dispatcher and started passing my name around, and i got on when Orange County FD (Orlando) hired 25.
they are the 3rd largest Dept in the state so that allowed them to hire more than 1 or 2
i just know i got certified with about 24 people, i think 8 or 9 got jobs, half gave up, and the rest never really tried.
you just gotta want it, and keep trying. it sucks, but its awesome when you finally get on...
good luck.
