Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.

The interviewer wants to hear who is important to you and how they positively impacted your life. Your answer could be a family member, coach, mentor, pastor, supervisor, or teacher. Explain how that person influenced you to be the person you are today. Try to avoid using examples that could bias the interviewer, such as political or religious figures.

"My grandfather, or Pops as I called him, had the greatest influence on me. Since I was two years old, he raised me and taught me that I could be anything I wanted to be. Anything I wanted to pursue, he was right there supporting me. I learned what work ethic, morals, and values looked like from following his example. He was the hardest working, happiest, and most humble man I have ever met, and I am trying really hard to follow in his footsteps."
