They highly recommend that all interested applicants make contact with them sometime in January or early February either by phone or in person for an "informal interview".

Also, the Zig Zag Hotshots suggest that you ask yourself the following: "What can I bring to the crew to strengthen their already strong program?” You might want to have an answer prepared in advance because that could very well come up during their "informal interview".

In addition, the Zig Zag hotshots seek candiates who are:

-Extremely physically fit
-Socially compatible and,
-Possess "immaculate references" from previous employers,

From their official website: "Part of being a "Hotshot" is acting like one. Self-motivation, working hard and pushing yourself mentally and physically are qualities needed to be a ZigZag Hotshot. It is not an easy job. It never has been and it never will be."

"This isn't a job, it's a lifestyle."
