[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 536315, member: 84"] I'm with Step. I know you've talked so many people down into calm during a crisis there would be no way to count. You think on your feet. You are creative. And you think outside the box. AND you have oodles of experience, maybe not in this particular job, but a lifetime of dealing with people. Math whiz? He's got a gift for math. I do too when it comes to money & shopping. Doesn't really make me a genius. The kid who did all that memorizing in 2 days? Back when I still had my photographic memory, I could've done it in ONE. It's not intelligence, it's not genius. I simply would recall up the page in my head and "read" it in my mind. (but it did come in awful handy and I miss it terribly) easy child and Aubrey have the same gift. And I'm seeing it with Darrin now too. But recall and understanding is NOT the same thing. Intelligence doesn't play a part unless you can recall it and understand it as well. Know what I mean?? Thankfully easy child, Darrin, and Aubrey all have the understanding part too. Don't let such things blow your confidence in yourself or intimidate you. I never realized so very much went into taking 911 calls. But it does make sense as you've no clue what call is going to come in at any time and you've got to be able to stay calm and assess and know what to do. YOU can do that. I know you can. I still think you're perfect for the job too! :) And around here, they put it in the paper when they need someone. They seem to go through them fast. I'm guessing because the intelligence pool around here doesn't seem to be very high. (I"m not being mean or stereotypical, it's just something I've observed the years I've been here) If they didn't put it in the paper, they'd never find anyone. But they put it as "police dispatcher" instead of 911 operator. [/QUOTE]
