For many aspiring emergency telecommunicators, the interview panel is the first true test of whether they belong behind the headset. It is not a casual conversation. It is a structured evaluation conducted inside secure facilities, often by supervisors who understand precisely what is at stake when the wrong hire slips through. In this episode of LifeLine 911, we examine what agencies are genuinely assessing during dispatcher interviews, the qualities that quietly distinguish strong candidates, and the red flags that immediately raise concern. If you have ever wondered what happens on the other side of the table, or how to prepare for it, this discussion offers a clear and candid look at the process.
