EMS Jobs SoCal

[Rykielz]

I'm a paramedic and just need a job at this point. I'm stuck here for at least a year or two and would like something where I'm not stuck doing BLS transfers all day every day. I do have a couple years of ALS 9-1-1 experience under my belt. Any suggestions?

Hmmmmmm Bakersfield huh, why not try Hall Ambulance?

I second Hall. There is also kern county ambulance, Delano ambulance and Liberty if I remember correctly. All run ALS 911.

I need something south of Kern County. Willing to do anything, but would prefer 9-1-1. I've turned in apps to every AMR there is down here and have been told the generic "up to 6 months until an interview."

McCormick runs into the San Fernando valley such as calabasas, Malibu, augora hills. Are you moving into LACo?

I currently live in Orange County but as everyone knows you can't be a paramedic unless you're a firefighter. I applied to McCormick and have been calling them 2-3 times a week without a response. A couple guys that work there have told me you need to know someone for them to even look at your app =(

Only because the fire medics know they can't compete.

This makes me angry on so many levels.

Little off topic, but I'm all for fire running the show on medical aids. What I disagree with is the fire departments putting up a blockade on potential business for the private sector. Fire departments are a government body and SHOULD NOT be run like a business. Everyone went through the same schooling so you can't say a firefighter/medic is better than a private or vice versa.
