Hi, I'm a 911 operator/dispatcher, my suggestion to you is to go to 911hotjobs.com/ and check their listings for state and city you wish to work.(this is a law enforcement site.)\nThen go through their procedures for hire....\nWhen I relocated, this is what I did to secure new employment.

I was with the Army and had to go 36 hrs without sleep while keeping watch on a suspected terrorist house (I won't say where).\nBut it was the worst time of my career - and it was the wrong house!

I accidentally dialed 411 instead of 911 when my father was having a major heart attack and that probably wasted some precious time in getting the ambulance to him. I also didn't know CPR and he ended up dying. I'll never forgive myself for that because it may have saved him.

I had a dream a couple of months before 9-11.  In the dream I was in a window with my mother and cousin.  We were looking out of it when a plan came into view.  The plane came right into the window and the building exploded. Then it was total darkness and all I felt was intense heat. Then I woke up.  I was freaked out for a while over that one. I thought it was a sign that I was going to hell. Then 9-11 happened and my dream popped into my head.  Scary but true. The amazing thing about all of this is, that Tuesday, I was going over to the city to go to my credit union. I live in jersey so i was gonna take the path to the WTC and go shopping at Century 21(which was right across the street from the twin towers).  I planned to get over there by 9am but I overslept.  Thank God! As I was walking out the door I got a call from my sister telling me to turn on the news, a plane had hit one of the towers.  I will never forget that.  Everything happens for a reason. I really felt blessed because had I not overslept I would of been there when the plane hit.

I wasn't going to reply until I read Lisa M.s reply.\nI am not sure how anyone who lived thru 911 could feel that way.\nI just remember thinking what went thru the minds of the people who jumped out of the top floors of the World Trade Center to avoid being burnt alive.\nOr I wonder ow the spouses of the victims who got to talk to their loved ones on the phone as their plane plowed into buildings at 500 miles per hour.\nIt is that they are on the terrorists side, or that their attention span is so short they cant remember the 354 firemen who died trying to save Americans lives they had never met.\nI thing Lisa M is selfish and a coward.

If this is a "fill in the blank with the best answer" question, the best answer is B.  "Did you do" tends to mean an action that was done once and finished, whereas "were you doing" tends to mean an action that was continuous or on-going.  So it is "What were you doing at this time yesterday?"  "I was sleeping."\n\nBut, let's say you are asked about your house catching fire.  It would be, "What did you do when your house caught on fire?"  Answer: "I ran outside."

I absolutely LOVE my job.  I'm a 911 dispatcher.  I take calls all day (or night) long.  I save at LEAST one life per week.  There's just something about going home after a shift and knowing the kinds of things I've accomplished that make me feel terrific!  Besides that, can't beat the fact that I'm sitting here typing this out from work, as we can do anything we want when there's not an active call!

I was living on the west coast in California in 2001, so I was just waking up when it happened. I woke up at 6:00 with Howard Stern on my alarm clock. I was laying there listening for a few minutes, wondering how this was supposed to be funny, when I heard Robin Quivers practically shout, "Oh my God, it's collapsing!", then I knew something had to be wrong. I got out of bed, went into the living room and turned on the TV, and there it was. I just stood there in shock for a minute, wondering what happened. When I read the scroll on the bottom of the screen say that two planes crashed into the towers, I thought to myself "This means war for somebody".

Very suspicious question, are you planning a hijack?

No comments Please. \n\nAlthough on May 5th 2006 at exactly 20 minutes from 2 AM in the morning I will take over Yahoo! Answers. I shall tie a bandanna with the sign "hidden4eternity" written on it. I will run around the block 3 times, eat my midnight snack which might be pizza... then get ready to suffer the worst pain you've ever felt before... \n\nUh.. Wow, I'm so sorry... I was just extra bored (waiting for the chicken in the oven to get ready) and I couldn't control my fingers. Sorry again.

The shortest quickest easiest answer to this question that fulfills all of the above conditions while introducing the least amount of explanation ( applying Ockhams razor) is that 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.  TruthSeeker you rock!!
