Looking for employment?

[gapierce]

Hey guys,

When looking for an ambulance service to work for, what should I really look for? Is there anything I should look out for?

ambulances....

Shiny ambulances!


Not in yet, but I would look to see how professional the interviewer acts towards you, and try to get a few ride a longs on, and see if you like the way they act "when the boss isn't around." But the thing about shiny ambulances isn't really a joke... Make sure they do all the maintenance and up keep on the rigs, if the rigs don't look good, how do you think they will treat you?

You forgot the most important thing! The "STOP RIGHT NOW AND PULL TO THE LEFT" sign on the front instead of "ECNALUBMA"!

I would say that the best thing is to do some research. Ask local EMT's that may have worked for a particular ambulance company....see if they can tell you how they treat their employees and what the average starting pay is so that you have some idea, and so forth.
