Just got my emt-b! Cant get a job.

[paradoqs]

Got a speeding ticket like two weeks after getting my emt-b which may make me inelligible for employment as an emt-b. Yay! And there are few jobs in my area, Boulder, CO anyway.

CO does not offer driving schools to keep points off license?

 

[paradoqs]

havent seen any. But they reduced it to failure to signal since I paid early. I dont know if that helps or not

 

[Shishkabob]

Depends. Does Colorado count that as a moving violation?

 

[TransportJockey]

I'm looking for jobs in the Denver area too. ARe you IV certified or EKG certified?

 

[paradoqs]

Not yet. I am going to get my IV cert soon

So any driving offense at all will prevent you from getting a job?? Seems a bit harsh.

Not any, but with EMTs being a dime a dozen, why bother hiring one with an infraction when there might be a handful of others who have a clean record.


Makes me glad when I get my CO DL today, the points from NM just disapear

I've got a few speeding tickets in the 16 or 17 years that I've been driving. Last one was a few years ago. Interesting issue to consider. Maybe I'll have my wife drive from now on!

If the points are the issue, yeah, take a defensive driving class to have them wiped out, if your state offers that. And usually there's a points deduction for safe driving over a period of time. If having an infraction is the issue, not much you can do about that.
