Well if you are meaning a privately owned ambulance service or such that is hard because of the limited number of them. What other types of of IFT's are you talking about?
I cannot speak for him, but I think he just meant apply for a interfacility transport/non-911 ambulance company.
It sounds like you are interested in working where you live, but in some states like mine, you have to consider commuting far for even an IFT job. In California, it took me 13 months to get an EMT job at an IFT company. I'm still trying to get on with the 911 company and it's been 2 years this month.
Same advise I give to everyone now.
Don't jump to no, apply everywhere that you qualify for (don't apply if you don't qualify), don't apply to only ones you hear are hiring, if they accept an application or resume, turn one in, apply for as far as you are willing to commute, make sure you have a resume, peer review it, write an essay about yourself, read it to yourself while looking at a mirror, interview yourself, also keep up-to-date with your skills and knowledge, continue learning so when it comes time to be interview and if there are any tests, you'll be ready. Don't have any experience at all? Make sure you learn where all the hospitals are at, main roads, study the protocols and policies. How dedicated are you? <bad joke>Shake babies, kiss hands.</bad joke> (other way around) Call ambulance companies, e-mail them, walk in, be a familiar face to them - a good one.
Good luck dude.
