Looks like a good outfit.
 
Just got hired... There were about 20 people in my orientation class and the instructor said they took about 50 percent of those who applied and passed the test so you have a good shot right now.

What does the testing involve?
 
written test which includes multiple choice, a couple narratives, and a map reading part, then the practical where they give you 3 scenarios and you go through everything.
 
FYI- open house is now September 22, 0830 or 1300 at 25 Eastern Ave, Malden. Contact Erica Robertson at 781-873-4348 to pre-register.
 
I'm registered for the test. Anything else I should know/expect when I go in? The only thing she told me was to bring my credentials and a copy of my driving record. I meant to ask but (of course) forgot, should I be dressed as though I were going to an interview or is it more informal? Thanks!
 
I saw people dressed for an interview but I wore a t shirt and jeans for the test

Thanks, I think I'll probably go for business casual, I hate feeling under-dressed for these kinds of things.

I'm from the south shore so I'm not too familiar with the metro Boston and north shore areas, anything specific I should study to prepare for the map portion?
 
Just know how to read a map it's easy the street names are in the bottom corner of each page and you just follow the grid to find the street.

Oh ok, I was thinking more along the lines of "driving from x to y, what would be the fastest route" kind of thing.
 
That's what it is I meant if you have trouble finding the streets they are listed in the bottom right so you use the grid to find them. They ask you to find the quickest route to x hospital from y street. Just find your way tO the nearest main street and you will do

Yeah, I figured that's what you meant...I was just thinking they wanted to know if you knew the route off the top of your head.

Is this a Cataldo thing where they test you or is this most ambulance companies? A girl told me she applied at Armstrong & Fallon and failed the lifting test I believe it was 120lbs? 130lbs?

Thanks!
 
Lifting tests I believe are required by all ambulance companies. It was part of my pre hire physical at the doctors. Different companies do different stuff as far as pre employment testing goes. Some companies just call you for an interview and that's it but others like Cataldo require you take a written and practical test. If you can't lift 120 lbs then how are you going to carry a stair chair or lift someone on a stretcher?
 
I don't have a problem with lifting 120lbs

Congratulations! I didn't make it past the written exam. :(
