I tried to get on with Lee County EMS as a first choice before either Charleston or Fairfax. They probably have an absurd amount of apps on file, and for good reason. I heard that real estate in Ft. Myers dropped and is quite affordable at the present.
we get anywhere from 400-1000 applications with each hiring round... depending on how long they leave it open for. Its very competitive to get hired here... but its worth it.
We have quite a few medics here from NYC that decided to leave post 9/11...we get people from all over the country applying here.. which is neat.. very diversified group of employees.
I'll make sure to let ya'll know when we do hire again... it might be a while.. we are facing up to a 15% budget cut.. and we have close to a 50 million dollar budget...so its a big cut... we're all hanging on for one hell of a ride with this going on.
