Reality- The most Qualified Police Candidates don’t always get hired...
In our society today the police force represents a form of employment that is highly sought after. There are many reasons for this, some of the main ones being that few other jobs offer you the excitement and satisfaction that is received from being involved in the police force.
You are given a good, competitive salary that comes complete with job security and many benefits that few other jobs are able to offer you. On top of this you also gain the satisfaction of helping people, arresting felons and wearing your badge with honor. It is due to these factors that there is now overwhelming competition for police officer jobs so in order to find the best candidates you need to pass the Police Officer Entrance Exam. It is because of this exam that many extremely qualified police candidates don’t get through. The force doesn’t want ordinary candidates they want the best, the toughest, the most intelligent and the most able to pass the test.
Basically it comes down to this, people who get better test scores will be chosen over people who are deemed to be the most qualified for the job. Some of the best candidates for the police force don’t get hired simply better they don’t prepare enough or they simple don’t take tests well. It doesn’t matter how many facts you know or how physically fit you are, if you don’t learn strategies about how to approach exams you will find it very difficult to pass.
If you fail or you don’t do very well in your entrance exam but you are the most qualified candidate you could find that people with less college or on job experience than you are being hired over you simply based on their better test results. Unfortunately, the most qualified person doesn't always get hired or promoted. The candidates, who have the best test scores, usually do.
