    the 100% directionless thread

    Thank you thank you thank you!! I needed to hear that Robb! I mean, is it normal that using only mirrors to drive and reverse is challenging? Or am I the only one that sucks at it? lol Sorry for complaining...I was just surprised at how difficult it was and how bad I did.

    being a women in ems..

    Formal clothing for the interview and maybe just the uniform pants for the skills test (if they will be conducted on two different days). The company I applied for was sort of laid back, so perhaps you want to be formal during both interviews if you're applying at a bigger company.

    being a women in ems..

    I'm sure they understand where you're coming from...they're just giving you a hard time ;). I do agree that women bring the softness that men don't always have...most of the time not all of the time...but men are also very compassionate as well and they do have their soft sides :).

    Preparing for an Interview

    Lol a stapler ? That really would have caught me off guard! The best thing you can do is smile through the entire interview...but with a genuine smile. It's ok to be nervous and I'm sure these employers understand that! What surprised me most about my interview was that they didn't give me a...

    Preparing for an Interview

    You know I've heard and read over and over practice the questions that you think they'll be asking you; and I thought to myself "Nah I'll just let it come to me as they ask" (stupid of me I know lol). But I did try that the night before the interview and it totally helped! Especially the "tell...
