COUNTY OF YORK PUBLIC SAFETY DISPATCHER CHECKLIST (Please skip this section if you are applying for a position other than dispatcher)
Experience has shown that many applicants for positions consider only the positive aspects of the job while ignoring some of its less attractive features. As a result, when new employees encounter negative job features they sometimes react by leaving the job well before training is completed (sometimes in only a few weeks). Early resignations, which result from lack of accurate job knowledge, contribute to a much higher than desirable attrition rate among trainees.
There are many satisfying, rewarding aspects to the position. The job offers the opportunity to make significant contributions to the welfare and safety of the public and fellow employees. The work is challenging and rewarding. It is important for all applicants to carefully consider both the negative and positive features of a new career before deciding to test for the position.
The job factors listed below are features of the position about which many applicants are unaware. If any of these conditions are unacceptable to you, we strongly suggest you consider alternative employment choices which may better fit your individual needs.
Place a check on the line following the statement to indicate you have read and thought about each item.
