This thread is relevant to my interests, as I'm about to embark on my first EMS job too... on Labor Day. LOL

Good luck to you. Here's hoping for a good start for the both of us!

it took me about three weeks to find a job. I have my certs for Orange county also and I know what you mean. I just hopeful because I would like to work there too.

Be the new guy, clean, stock the rig, do all your checks everyday. Use that company as a stepping stone. Get a good foundation and build upon it. be a sponge!! soak up everything. Good luck, Cheers!!

Do NOT get lazy about this. You don't want to pencil-whip through all the checks only to find out that you're acutely in need of something you're supposed to have... like on a call or on a CHP or EMS Agency spot check... and have to down the rig... or incur a fine for your company...

3 weeks?!?! oh man that's great to hear. i thought by now i'd be able to search for a job but my Live Scan location after a week of waiting i find out they "lost" my prints through a 3rd party sender to the DOJ and had to resubmit them. i have to wait for Live Scan to clear before i can submit my state/county license app. i already have nremt cert., my amb. operator cert. and med examiner card. this is so frustrating.

...again best wishes to you.
