Review the job announcement before your interview to ensure you meet the agency's minimum qualifications. Focus on naming any related degrees, certifications, or on-the-job training you have that qualifies you to work as a Fire Investigator. If the agency says they prefer a candidate to have specific capabilities, and you possess them, highlight that in your response.
