SPELL CHECK:rolleyes:

I agree as well that EMT's are mass produced. I'm still gonna push for a 911 job, I think a little bit of drive can set those apart from the other dime a dozen healthcare providers.

Lame I would assume that the paramedics wait list is shorter as there are less of them? I guess the best thing to do is just be persistent, and hope. My current manager is friends with the operations manager in San Joaquin maybe that's a plus^_^

200 waiting, wow. I personally know a 2 guys that got in, in 2 months. I have been waiting for a little over 2 months now though so I do believe you, it's just I don't want to :unsure: I was hoping if I called and bugged them enough in a good way I might move up the list..keeping that whole...

I payed 52$ for my live scan and the $75 for the medical examiners exam on top of $25 for the DMV test.

Really, you contacted the Recruiter.. I like that. I contacted the Alameda county HR office and they only gave me info on the San Joaquin county hiring freeze. I'm not too worried about the interviewing portion, it's just getting to that point that is killing me.

LOL at the pizza remark. I looked online and the open positions are nowhere near me :sad: The San Joaquin location has it's own website, and does not have an employment button or anywhere that lists available positions. I'd like to go to EMSTI to continue my education and they require 1...

Thank yous from an interviewee are great, as a manager for a call center I received one thank you letter from an applicant, needless to say he was hired. I think that it shows desire for the job, and says a lot about you being proffesional. I think that many people do not realize how important...

Question for you AMR Employees. I have been goin through the Central Valley of California (alameda county, stanislaus county, San Joaquin county) putting in Applications at AMR, and have not received a single call back. They all have similar application packets asking for the same things...

I've been certified since August and applying since October, nothin yet. Get your Ambulance Driver Certificate; some places will not hire you with out it. I wish I would have gotten mine right after I passed the NREMT.

Pren Hall has subtests on all the chapters in their book, it helped me out a lot in class. The NREMT is easy, at least that is how I felt, definitely a stressful test though. GOOD LUCK
