Hello,
I'm an EMT in the bay area working for a small ambulance company that involves only basic transportation via ambulance, wheel chair van, and basic sedans. We do not get any 911 calls.
I'm now looking to get a 911 EMT job for several reasons:
Now that I have stated my reasons for looking for a new job, I was hoping some of you guys could help compare and contrast some of the 911 companies in the bay area. I've heard good things about FALCK and NorCal and I am planning on applying to them. I was keeping Medic in mind too. If you have any info on these companies and would like to help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

I'm now looking to get a 911 EMT job for several reasons:
- Experience-I'm trying to get into paramedic school in July and I would love to get some emergency experience before I get into the class.
- Practice-Working in basic transportation has not let me practice all the skills I was taught in class. A lot of the skills I was taught are rusty due to the lack of using them actively and I would like to bring them up to par.
- Professionalism-I'm looking to work for a company who has everything in order and has a set schedule. I'm really tired of getting my hours at 2030 and later at night. Especially when they tell me I have a 0400 shift.
- Pay-Basic and simple. I would like to look for something that pays decently. Benefits would be another great plus.
