More tips to survive the Correctional Interview process!!! 

You are truly welcome. I am happy you are enjoying the content

Awesome. Sam Sam. Please tell me what to think. I hope we are able to help find what you are looking for.

@@TierTalk I think it’s a great advice for those who wants to work in prison and I’ve been thinking about doing it when the kids are bit older. Studying Sociology human behaviour help me understand all behaviour that tends to bring individuals together as well as all forms of aggressive behaviour and I also find it easy to read people and understand how criminal minds works and the psychology behind human behaviour

@@samsam723 I respectfully disagree with the soft sciences. Please understand I am not dismissing your studies. I hope you do choose a career in corrections. I believe you would be extremely valuable. I do ask that when you do that you enter believing no 2 human beings are alike and take everything case by case. I believe you have the ability to see when something is off in a person. Thats probably one of the most important assets an officer can possess knowing when someone is off. I had an inmate come up to me a couple of weeks ago telling me he has been clean for 9 months now. He told me that I walked by him when he was high and quietly stated to him "you're better than that". I didn't lock him up for being high probably because administrative confinement was full that day. But I did let him know I noticed. I see you being the same way. Case by case. Let them know bad behaviors leaves them vulnerable to the other predator inmates. Let them know they are better than that. Ps don't look up their charges it only jades in our ability to effectively do our job. Thats not why we are there.

@@conservativejew3229 I understand no two people are the same or behave the same. Surely having science background plays big factor dealing with criminals and knowing your own strengths and weaknesses gives you better understanding and you are self aware and ready to deal with any challenges. Working in prison is a chaotic environment , we know nothing is going to change and the behaviour is chaotic, if you are someone who can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, than working with inmates isn’t the right job for you. I love challenge! I do disagree with you about soft science, and understanding criminal minds and human behaviour because of it you will have better advantage of to deal with inmates manipulative and how to avoid set ups by inmates

@@samsam723 its really isn't chaotic it's 10% chaos and 90% "boring". I wasn't dismissing your education. My apologies if it seemed that way. Putting people in a specific category/ box is not a good idea in prison. BTW I love my job. It's extremely rewarding.

It feels so much better when something is earned.

Wow. Thank you Rick. I appreciate you

I agree. It showcases you have control

You got this Todd. We learn from you everyday. Good luck. But you don’t need it. You got the knowledge and skill sir.

@@TierTalk Thanks for the kind words sir. I was Acting Lieutenant in 2015. I just wanted to have more solid experience at being a Sergeant in corrections before taking that permanent leap to management.

You need to dress formal. It’s a professional interview so you must look professional.

Awesome. I wish you the best. You got this. Thank you for Watching

Really. I am so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

Yes. I just have to do some research

That is great news. Good luck on the interview tomorrow and please let us know how it goes. Fingers are crossed.

@@TierTalkI got offered the job, just gotta do some background stuff and then I’ll be off to basic training 😊. I should be working for NECX in TN soon

Thank you very much for watching

Thank you for watching.

If you made it this for..it can take up to thirty days for a background check. So I would say maybe six weeks or less.

Wow. That can be scary. Quantity over quality

@@TierTalk yeah, very! Hopefully training will weed out some undesirables. At least I know they got one great candidate😎🤣

Yes they do

Don’t worry about feeling new or being seen as new. That could stop yo I from wanting to learn. I would see, be humble. Take everything in. Ask questions. And don’t worry out being new.

​@@TierTalk thank you sir I will do that.

Well said

Only if u pass the PT portion of the process. That part is hard af🤣🤣

I agree. It’s a great balance

@@TierTalk I could work for you all day any day! I wish we had more people in corrections with your frame of mind. Your professionalism and hospitality is honest and extremely important.

@@conservativejew3229 thank you sir,,,I think we would make a great team.

@@TierTalk not that you would know but I'm a female correctional officer in a male prison. I find my job extremely rewarding and more so as the years pass. Just 2 days ago I walked into a dorm and received a standing ovation from the inmates. Brought me to tears. I'm tough in the aspect that I have high expectations of the inmates I interact with and they know it. They know I follow policy and procedure to the book and will lock them up when they choose to commit an offense. They don't realize how much they have taught me when it comes to patience and control but in return I strive everyday to give them care custody and control with empathy and compassion which is my institutions core values. I absolutely love my job.

@@conservativejew3229 we need more of that love for what we do…it brings us tons of value and purpose.

I have a few videos on interviews. Just search on RU-vid ..tier talk interview

Yes. It is killing us.

It does seem like they are lowering the standards to address the staffing issues. We need to keep the screening process stringent to get more quality applicants. Just get the word out, and promote the profession.

I feel as though the physical requirement play a vital role in that. Not alot of mature (older) people are going to apply. So it leaves it up to the younger people. Let's be honest, SOME younger people will quit a job in 2.5.
