Thanks, man! After being in the design business for 12 years, you get used to the on and offs and the constant applying. I'm just lucky that my family and I have some history working in various hospitals and ERs already to be able to establish some sort of in. Like I mentioned before, I...

I did... Only so much out there you start applying twice, even three times over the course of a few months. A good number medics that proctored in my EMT class had other jobs simply because there were only a few and their other jobs (not in healthcare) paid more - at least they got accepted into...

So... I went ahead and called back yesterday. I got the "I'm sorry she doesn't seem to be available, would you like her voicemail?" reply. I know this technique. I've done this in my previous jobs where someone is asking for my boss and they don't want to talk... If I don't get a call back come...

I'll be calling them within the next day or so. We'll see what happens from there. I'm not planning on getting rid of them just yet... And if it is a no go, I'll return them. Takes way more energy acting bitter than to accept it. I've been there plenty of times before. No use burning any...

I know what you guys are saying... It really is a good company though, not one of those small-time local pop-up ones. This is one of the bigger/and-still-growing companies around here, has been around for a very long time and has a lot of clout. I had buddies way back when I was working the ER...

Good luck with that Zeroo! It seems to only be happening to this particular company. The others are still posting open positions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'd really hate to get back with a full time job in design (even though it'll pay a heck of a lot more), but I'm sick of going...

Yeah, thanks, that's a given - other privates (too old for fire), ERs, etc... But you gotta think that somehow, calling us all back would be far cheaper from an operational standpoint - processing paperwork, paying for the physical, uniforms, etc - than to hire brand new. This is the closest...

So I got hired by one of the bigger private ambulance companies a few weeks ago - a newly graduated and licensed EMT-B. They had me do all the pre-hire paperwork, get a physical and even got me fitted and sent home with my uniform. I was all ready and very psyched to start working again (I've...

Hello! What's up guys? Just wanted to say hello... The name is Chris and I just got my EMT-B license in January after being a graphic designer for almost 12 years. Yup, mid-life crisis??? I actually worked in a Chicago ER for almost 9 years, starting in my junior year of HS, until a few...
