#3 of 6 Mistakes Candidates Make During NYPD Hiring Process…
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 third 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 Three: Ignoring financial or legal issues. Another major mistake Candidates make is neglecting to disclose financial or legal matters in their background. The NYPD looks closely at these areas because they reflect on your reliability and decision making skills. Here are some examples of what they look for – outstanding debt, unpaid taxes, poor credit history, past arrests (even if the charges were dropped in court), civil lawsuits or restraining orders. If you have any of these issues in your background, be proactive and address them up front, before they become a problem. For example, you should work on resolving your debt issues and obtain all documentation which shows legal matters were resolved. If these issues should come up during the hiring process, having an explanation ready can make a big difference.
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.
