For some reason it won't let me post with the link to the 2011 one...its under Firehouse World Exposition and Conference at the Convention Center Feb. 26 - Mar. 2, 2011. The EMS classes look great. All the good EMT stuff is M-W. Anyone know of any job fairs for EMS? Do they do that for...

I walked into Balboa's office in El Cajon and they handed me an app. I've gone to each company in person to hand in my apps and got interviews on the spot at two.

Anyone heard of this? I'm a new EMT, no experience other than my ride-along, so wanted to see if EMS responders actually do this: "Apparently this is a standard procedure paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone. ICE - 'In Case of Emergency' We...

Will there be employment resources there? I'm getting desperate...

WEMT - worth it? I'm thinking about enrolling in the EMT Upgrade course with NOLS in the summer to get the WEMT certificate. Just wondering if this is just jumping the gun (still looking for an EMT-B job). It sounds awesome, right up my alley, but $600-$700 ain't chump change. Anyone...

Thanks. I'm not giving up, still eager and determined. Good to hear I'm not far outta my league. ...but still gettin' those weights tonight.

I just failed a physical agility test at a company that requires you to lift a 250lb gurney (striker with a sand-bag patient dummy) up two flights of stairs, twice. They said even though normally you would call for backup if needing to lift that much weight, they needed to be sure you could do...

I picked up an app at Balboa yesterday but they didn't have time to interview me and I was off to another interview in Escondido. Do you know if they are still hiring? I've gotten a call back to Schaefer and Xtreme Care, so getting to the point where I might have to choose which one I want to...

I'm applying at all the places you were discussing in your post, and wondering how it all went. Where did you end up working at? What's your take on the company? I've been to 6 interviews so far and two call backs, but not sure who I would choose. Kinda want to see if you have any feedback...

copies vs original So far, only company that has required an original is Schaefer. They seem a bit strict on a few issues, so I'm not that surprised. I'm yet to hear back from Rural Metro or AmeriCare on 'original or copy', but everyone else seems to have no problem with a copy.

Does anyone know if you have to get an original DMV H6 print out (driving record) for each company you apply to or if you can use copies? I'm in CA if that makes any difference.

Have you looked into ER Tech jobs? I have an EMT classmate who's more interested in nursing than paramed and she's volunteering at an ER and waiting to get hired part time. Sharp has an online jobs page that you set up your resume and can search and apply through. I'm sure the other hospitals...

Is it better to hold out and get hired at a reputable company than to take a job at a less-reputable one while you're still applying? Does it hurt your chances of getting into the good companies if you've worked for the less reputable ones? I'm hoping to apply to paramedic school in a year...

Xtreme Care and other San Diego companies I applied the other day. Small office, looked more like an apartment than an office. They were nice, had uniforms and all. But I'm totally new to this and they were the first ones I applied at. Anyone work there have any feedback? Also applied at...

Thanks! I did pass the nremt, but it was a pain. And you're right....Monday is a holiday. Darn...

About to apply for an EMT-B job with AMR San Diego and they require that you take a test. Anyone have any advice on what specifically to study for? Also, on a side note, can you use the same H-6 print out from the DMV for several job applications or do they want an original? It's Friday...

Yeah, I've looked at those schools..very expensive. Hoping to get into Palomar since they only require 6 months of experiance. I'd be happy to get into Southwestern in a year. Shoot...still looking for a job. But thanks for the reply!

No experiance requirement for paramedic school....? Where?! I'm dying to know, but worried at the same time. Doesn't sound like a bad idea, having to have experiance before moving into a field that administers drugs and such... But I'm just an EMT-B and happy to get into a paramed school
