In an effort to guide aspiring firefighters toward a successful career in the fire service, Marina C. Miller is proud to announce the launch of Ignite Your Career, a comprehensive platform designed to help candidates excel through the competitive firefighter hiring process. With over 20 years of experience in human resources and labor relations, including a pivotal role in the recruitment of firefighters, Marina’s expertise is now available to those who aspire to serve their communities as firefighters.
As the first female firefighter in her region, Marina C. Miller knows firsthand the dedication and challenges involved in becoming a firefighter. After transitioning from active service to a career in fire department recruitment, she developed an extensive understanding of what it takes for candidates to stand out. Now, through Ignite Your Career, she’s using that knowledge to help others navigate the rigorous selection process and land their dream job in the fire service.
“Firefighting is more than a job—it’s a calling. But getting hired is tougher than ever,” said Marina Miller, Founder of Ignite Your Career. “I created this platform because I’ve seen firsthand how many great candidates get overlooked simply because they don’t know how to prepare. We’re changing that.”
Ignite Your Career is offering a range of services, including a motivational book, an online course, personalized coaching, and additional resources—all aimed at equipping candidates with the tools they need to succeed.
The platform's main offerings include:
The Book: Answering the Call
A no-nonsense, motivational guide that provides readers with everything they need to know about the firefighter hiring process. The book covers essential steps, including overcoming self-doubt, avoiding common pitfalls, and answering tough interview questions with confidence.
The Course: From Candidate to Recruit
This 3-step system covers standout applications, mastering testing processes, and building interview confidence. The course is designed to empower candidates with a strategic approach to every stage of the hiring journey.
1:1 Coaching & Mentorship
Personalized coaching from Marina Miller herself, offering customized feedback and ongoing support to candidates. This one-on-one guidance is invaluable for those looking for tailored preparation and real-world advice to ensure they stand out in the hiring process.

Ignite Your Career’s unique approach is rooted in Marina’s extensive experience in both human resources and the fire service. With a background that includes serving as a Senior Human Resources Business Partner for the City of Westminster and as the Human Resource Director for the West Metro Fire Protection District, Marina has overseen the hiring of hundreds of firefighters. She has witnessed firsthand the reasons why some candidates are hired while others fail to make the cut. As such, her platform focuses not only on interview preparation but also on building the personal qualities necessary to succeed in the fire service.
“This isn’t just about getting hired—it’s about becoming the kind of person the fire service needs,” Marina continued. “At Ignite Your Career, we help you step into that version of yourself with confidence, purpose, and a plan.”
Ignite Your Career is now open to aspiring firefighters of all backgrounds, providing a holistic, community-driven approach to recruitment. With her proven track record and deep understanding of what departments are looking for, Marina is committed to helping future firefighters succeed in their journey.
