AMR Riverside/Hemet

Is it me or have I been on the wait list for AMR Hemet/riverside for a lot longer than most people? I am just curious how long people waited before they got a call. It kinda bothers me because I have a lot of job experience and currently work as an EMT at a busy casino but I feel like none of that is "standing me out". How long have some of you waiting or waited before you got a call?

I try emailing HR every month or so but I get general responses and my most recent response was a copied and pasted email she sent me last month. I applied and passed the exam in April. Any tips?

I applied in Janurary and got the call in march. AMR did alot of hiring in Janurary-April. So they aren't hiring alot of people if any at the current time. and the wait list is very long due to AMR being pretty much the only 911 provider in the riverside and san Bernardino counties. Everyone and their grandmas are trying to get hired on.

Forget AMR, leave CA, and become a real medic. There are a lot of municipal agencies that hire medics (without having to be a firefighter) with better pay and city benefits.

HR gets emails from alot of people asking about their application. It's easier to copy and paste.

Weird, Got a phone call from 310-851-7600 which is AMR's patient services for like billing and such. Called back and had an automated message for different things related directly to patients and options for extensions. No voicemail or anything, weird. Hopefully they call back since I've NEVER been transported or even had AMR called on me or any family.
