The 7 dimensions a fire-department hiring panel cares about
- Certifications frontloaded. NFPA 1001 FF I/II, EMT or Paramedic, CPAT (with date and validity), Hazmat Operations, BLS. Hiring panels filter by these first.
- Action verbs. Trained, responded, supervised, drilled, inspected. No "responsible for" or "duties included."
- Fire-specific framing. Volunteer fire, military, EMS, mechanical trades all framed for what a fire department actually values.
- Quantification. Call volume, training hours, crew size, years of service.
- Length discipline. One page. No padding.
- ATS readability. Plain text. No graphics, photos, or tables that break parsing.
- Honesty audit. Every claim survives a background investigator's call to the listed reference.

Frequently asked questions
What does the AI panel look at on a firefighter resume?
Seven dimensions: are certifications frontloaded (NFPA 1001 FF I/II, EMT, CPAT, Hazmat), are bullets led by strong action verbs, is volunteer/military/EMS experience framed in fire-relevant language, are numbers used where they belong (call volume, training hours), is the resume one page, is it ATS-readable plain text, and would every claim survive a background investigator's call.
How is this different from a generic resume builder?
Zety, Resume.com, and Novoresume are general-purpose. They score 'team player' as a strength. Hiring panels score it as filler. This tool encodes the specific rules that fire departments actually use, written by a working captain who has sat on hiring panels.
Will this work if I'm changing careers and have no fire experience?
Yes. The AI is designed to translate civilian skills into fire-relevant framing where it's honest. Mechanical trades, military service, EMS, public-service roles all get specific guidance on how to frame them for a fire department panel.
Is one free attempt really enough?
It gets you the score and the top strength and improvement. To see every line-by-line edit, run unlimited reviews after edits, export PDF and .docx, tailor to specific departments, and generate cover letters, you need the Get Hired tier ($29.99/mo or $99.99 for a 90-day sprint).
Does StruckBox sell my email?
No. We use it to send your score and one or two follow-up tips, and to remember your account if you decide to sign up. We never sell or share email addresses with third parties.
