More than 1200 people show up to apply for 35 firefighter jobs

This is a story from Miami Florida:  Hundreds of hopefuls line up for 35 Miami firefighter jobs

More than 1,000 applicants had stood in line — many of them camping out overnight — to apply for 35 firefighter jobs that offer $46,000 a year, plus benefits. The city started taking applications from those who qualified at 8 a.m.

They stopped accepting the applications at 7:50 p.m., when they hit their limit of prospective firefighters — 750, city spokeswoman Kelly Penton said.

”We’ve never had this kind of turnout,” Penton said. “This is unprecedented.”

In the face of tough competition.  You must figure out a way to stand out.  The odds are not that bad if you think about it.  There are 35 positions, which means that the top 3% will be hired.  That acceptance rate is better than most.  Good luck everyone in Florida!
