Dear Friend and Aspiring Firefighter,
You survived the apocalyptic “Twilight Zone” of 2020. Congratulations!
But have any of these words haunted you over the past year? Are some of these words still haunting you… today?
You see, every year THOUSANDS of hard-working men & women do their best to become full-time firefighters. Armed with knowledge, their best outfit and a smile, they march in the interview room with the hopes of starting their career.
question is…
Are they succeeding?
Unfortunately, most of them are not.
Study shows that less than 5% of candidates applying for a firefighter job will get hired. That means that 96 of every 100 candidates fail!
It’s depressing, isn’t it?
Maybe it’s even happened to you already. You start studying and prepping your ass off for months! But you end up being surpassed by other candidates instead. Or perhaps once in the interview chair you got the “blank canvas syndrome” and forgot the multiple dozens of questions you memorized.
Yes, It’s frustrating. It’s humiliating. It’s exhausting. Because every failed attempt is not only costing you time, but also money. I’m sure you know that most fire services take on new recruits once every 12 to 24 months. And that the average firefighter salary in the US is $44,000 a year.
Heck, you probably already have lost more than you care to share.
Just multiply the sum of failed attempts x 1 to 2 years x $44,000. Unfortunately, numbers don’t lie…
The good news is that if you’ve ever felt like this, I can reassure you, you’re not the only one.
And let me also tell you that it’s not your fault if you haven’t landed the job of your dreams just yet.
You see, the reason why you aren’t a full-time paid firefighter is because up till now, you were following the wrong map.
Picture this, if you’re trying to find your way in New York City by trusting a map of Seattle, would it matter how closely you study the map? Would it matter if you diligently followed every direction it gave you?
The truth is, you don’t need an accurate blueprint (map), but the RIGHT blueprint. One that you trust. One that you can follow with confidence because you are 100% certain it knows your territory. Inside out. All the way through.
What most people do when they fail the interview process is to go home, keep studying and try again. But for most people, isn’t this a bad recipe?
You might have tried one or all of the above tips (which are fine on their own merit), but what’s wrong is that they lack congruity, they lack structure, and the worst part is that EVERYONE IS DOING THEM! Even pro firefighters often don’t know how they got the job. Most can offer advice but not guidance.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”
-Albert Einstein
And it gets worse… What happens if you just do nothing? If you just keep doing what you’ve been doing? Or if you keep following general advice? You will likely waste months (probably years) trying to succeed. And when you finally stop banging your head against the wall you will try to find fulfillment in some other type of job.
Other jobs? They are a waste of time. Because if you’re like me, you know a TRUE CALLING when you feel one. If you’re like me, that calling is becoming a full-time firefighter!
Listen: If becoming a firefighter is your primary goal. THERE IS A WAY!
Allow me to introduce: THE TOPSCORE INTERVIEW TRAINING! The first complete, up-to-date course (with a proven track record) to 100% prepare anyone for their firefighter job interview!
TOPSCORE Is Made BY Firefighters FOR Firefighters.
Attention: Before we continue I must be upfront with you… The truth is that I did not personally create the TopScore course. But hear me out. In the last 12 months I’ve had so many people on Firefighter Insider (my blog) who wanted me to create a course like TopScore.
Since that time, I committed myself to find a solution. Yes, I am a professional Firefighter/Engineer – Paramedic, and yes I have more than 2000 hours of specialty training and certifications. But look: quality takes time. And I knew that I did not have the time to create a course like this.
That’s when (after many months of researching and testing)
I found out about the TopScore Interview Training course.
It’s true. I was cautious at first, I had to be. There are so many awful-low value courses out there you’d be amazed! But once I verified that TopScore is the real deal, I not only had several long conversations with Fire-Captain Rob & Firefighter Mike (the creators of the course) getting to know them, I also reached out personally to TopScore graduates, MOST WHO ALREADY HAD LAUNCHED THEIR DREAM FIREFIGHTER CAREER!
All of them (with zero exceptions) contributed their success to the TopScore system.
I’m not kidding! I’ve even asked to combine a few of their testimonies in a short video.
and Find Out the Truth About
Topscore
What does all this mean for you? As you already know, 96 of every 100 firefighting candidates fail. (Talking about slim chances of success.)
You also probably know most candidates have a limited time window. Because after you get offered the interview you may only have a few days to prepare. If your competition started before then (all strong candidates have) you will be slaughtered in the interview-battlefield process.
What makes TOP SCORE DIFFERENT is that it helps 93% of aspiring firefighters succeed! The average success rate in the US is a tiny 4%).
For the record that’s a 2325% increase!!
That’s right, now you too can MASTER THE INTERVIEW PROCESS & become a firefighter EVEN IF you have zero interview experience, zero preparation and no time to waste.
You need only two things to succeed:
Just 3 hours to complete the course and a confident smile.
It’s that simple!
It seems a little hard to believe, doesn’t it? After all, you’ve likely tried to land your dream job before,
but you’re not really any better off than before. So it feels like too much to hope for
to believe that this course really could be the ticket to becoming a pro firefighter.
But the Top Score Interview Training Course is unlike any you’ve ever tried before. That’s because you’ll ACQUIRE A UNIQUE APPROACH THAT IS NOWHERE ELSE TO BE FOUND ONLINE OR OFFLINE.
AND IN JUST MINUTES FROM NOW YOU’LL:
I know, these sound like bold claims. But I’ve shared these same strategies with countless other students. They now are proud firefighters! That’s how I know these little-known firefighting-interview secrets will work for you too.
But you don’t have to take my word for it. Instead, look at the proof:
“Before taking this class I was not adequately able to express the reasons that I should be hired to work as a firefighter. After your class I became confident during my interviews. I know it isn’t magic. It’s about learning how to express the deep desire you have to follow your calling and you taught me how to do it.”
“I am so thankful for the techniques I learned from TopScore. I can honestly say without them I would not have my dream job today. It is rare to test once and land a job in the fire service, but with the interviewing techniques I was taught I was able to make it happen. Thank you so much for all your help! Words cannot begin to explain how grateful I am.”
“My very first testing experience was with the largest department in the state. I somehow got lucky and passed the written test all on my own, so I decided I would prepare for the oral board on my own too. Big mistake. I didn’t have a clue what kind of questions the board would likely ask, and even if I did it wouldn’t have mattered – I had no idea HOW to properly answer them!
I was clueless of how the oral board process works, and needless to say, I did not get the job. Two years later the same department was testing again so I decided to get some help, and I’m so glad I did.
After working with the guys at TopScore, not only did my written test score go up several points, but my oral board score skyrocketed from an 80 to a 95! That test was the second test I had ever taken, and the only difference between my two testing experiences was the proper guidance and training I received at TopScore.
The second time around I DID get the job, and now I’m working for my dream department. I know I would not be a firefighter here today if it weren’t for TopScore!”
“A firefighter friend gave me Topscore’s contact information. At the time, I thought I was prepared for the interview and wasn’t terribly interested in getting additional coaching. However, my desire to be a firefighter demanded that I leave no leaf unturned in my pursuit.
After talking to Rob for only a few minutes I knew he had the experience and ability to assist me, and I made an appointment to sit down with him.
I have no doubt that his tips and advice significantly improved my interview, and he showed a genuine interest in helping me reach my goal. If you’re serious about nailing the interview and landing a career in the fire service, look no further.”
“If you are serious about pursuing the fire service as a career then, without a doubt, you will have to take on the challenge of the firefighter interview panel. This is not the most comfortable situation so you must be at the top of your game and ready to perform when it comes to the interview.
I can honestly say that this book and the coaching I received by Rob and Mike was the “keystone” in my success with the interview. In turn, helping me to achieve my dream job.
It’s simple; read this book, pursue coaching from the authors, and apply what you learn to your upcoming firefighter interview! I wouldn’t be where I am without it!”
“In 2008 I had been looking for a full time fire service career for about two years. I had tried many study aids that I got off the internet but still had a difficult time making headway in finding a job. I got a referral about the TopScore Course from a friend and signed up. Taking the TopScore fire fighter testing and interview course was very helpful and informative.
The information he shared helped immensely, especially for prepping for the interview process with Boise Fire. With the skills he taught me I got a great score on my oral interview and was offered a job shortly after. I highly recommend Mike’s course, it is definitely worth the time and money.”
“Becoming a firefighter is by far one of the most competitive and sought after jobs in today’s job market.
Positions are separated by mere points in the testing process.
I was proactive and took the TopScore course and was able to edge out some of the competition with the tools they taught me.”
“There is a big gap between the candidate who memorizes answers to a set of questions and the one that can think and respond dynamically to answer any question thrown at them.
TopScore is an essential component to bridging that gap.”

It’s Time Now To
With more than 20 years of experience combined Mike & Rob have created an extraordinary product.
Before becoming a firefighter 20 years ago, I tested at 75 plus departments, some of these tests had as many as 20,000 other candidates. I tested for over FIVE years! Then, I met a mentor. He gave me the missing pieces I needed and my years of testing quickly came to an end. Because of his coaching, I landed the best job in the world at a dream department. The gift he gave me was priceless and inspired me to help other candidates, like you.
Mike and I have spent the last 15 years uncovering the most successful firefighter interview skills and then organizing them into a simple to understand process called the TopScore Top5. The process has resulted in hundreds of successful interviews and saved candidates years of trial and error.
