Here's a rather different hypothetical situation. And this isn't about me or anyone I know personally, but about a situation I am somewhat familiar with thru a friend:
Suppose an EMT-B with a previous degree in a non EMS field passed his basic course with excellent scores, passed state certification first try, does part time EMS already, is well regarded by teachers and supervisors and has letters of recommendation from senior EMS staff and former employers, and is pursuing an entry-level EMS job while attending advanced training. This candidate has a pretty good driving record over the last few years, never had a DUI, and has never had felonies, etc. However, the guy had ridden with a large and somewhat notorious motorcycle club off and on over the years, and this fact was known in local law enforcement in his county and by some in EMS. Again, clean record, family man, no drugs or alcohol, but previous membership in an organization with a bad rep and has been out only a year and a half.
What's his chances getting hired with your employer? Ever heard of something similar? What was the outcome?
Just curious.
