i know most of you folks already work in ems, and some of you are probably involved in hiring new employees, so i was hoping you could give me some advice. i'm a newly-certified basic trying desperately to find a job, but it seems there are lots more emts than jobs where i live. i'm wondering if there's anything i can do to make myself competitive despite my lack of experience. i'm hoping to start volunteering soon, but i need my iv cert to even interview for a volunteer position (starting class tomorrow, so should be this month). i've also put in applications with local emergency departments, but haven't gotten any replies. so i guess i'm wondering what, aside from experience, hiring managers look for in a prospective employee. is there any way i can sell myself that would make them consider me over someone with experience? any thoughts? thanks much!
