Written is just basic NREMT medic stuff. Nothing crazy. Interview will likely include so escort of skills, but it's also basic, and will vary from division to division.

This question goes out to anyone working riverside division. How many shifts can you truly expect to get as a part timer. And how soon can you make the switch to full time. Are overnight shifts easier to pick up since no one really wants to work nights especially weekend nights.

I was told by HR last week that AMR LA County (Irwindale, Santa Clarita and Lancaster included) isn't hiring EMTs and doesn't expect to until the beginning of next year.

I noticed they have new orientation dates set up once a month through December. Granted a couple could just be for medics, but I'm thinking they are going to bring some EMTs on.
Then again, you heard from HR directly, and I'm just assuming.

Well judging from the people I've communicated with that will be there tomorrow, our orientation will have both EMT's and Medics.
AMR hiring seems to happen in bursts (bolus lol), so get that app in and sit tight.

Yeah, I've noticed that about the hiring. I have my application in for a few different divisions. It's just about being patient from this point I guess.
I was invited to test recently at either Irwindale, Moorpark or Oxnard...If I test at Moorpark can I also test at Oxnard-as one is really Gold Coast and the other AMR (even if all related)? I would like a chance to work at either company/location. OR, can I test at one and ask to be considered at both-- once a job opens up? Thanks for anyone who knows and can help. I don't mind the wait, as I am taking Chem and math right now and then next semester Physiology, to get on the waiting list at Ventura College for Paramedic program.
Likely hood of getting hired by AMR Ven Co as an EMT close to none. Having said that... You used to be able to fill out the application in person and check off boxes to other divisions to which you would want your application faxed to. With the online application its different, you must submit and app to each division. Now lets say you take the test in Irwindale and pass, but now Moorpark calls for you to test, you can tell them that you already passed and they can contact Irwindale for the results. Gold Coast is different only because it is technically still a different subsidiary of EMSC, they don't have to share test results nor is it the same test. Hope that answers your question. Also most Gold Coast EMTs just do IFT.

Well that was a lot of power point and signatures today. At least the guy behind me is a cool dude.

Working in Palm Springs I can take that message to mean many different things...
Just curious about AMR's whole application process and time frame, but from the day you submit your primary application online, about how long does it take for them to either invite you to test or decline? And from there until you get an interview and then (hopefully) hired?
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is no simple answer. It varies greatly. Some areas it may be just a matter or days to weeks. Other areas it may take a couple of months to over a year.

Ok I need to amend that to not hiring Full Time for the rest of the year, because I got a call earlier this week to interview/test for a Part Time position at Irwindale, and I just got home from that.
Aced the medical, but bombed the trauma skills. Note to self, when they say instability in the hip, they mean the hip! (I tried putting a traction splint on it d'oh -_- )
They said study up on my skills and I'll get a call back to repeat the interview/skills test in like 2-3 weeks.
I didn't make it quite far enough to ask this there, but does anyone know what sort of schedule a Part Time EMT would work?

I can't say for sure but it seems like AMR does 1 of 2 things. Part time can either mean a steady shift of 2-3 shifts per week (or something similar) or you pick up shifts as you want but you have to work at least 3 shifts per month.

PART TIMERS get to chose 2-3 set day cars for each week. that shift is yours until you drop it. You are able to pick up open shifts Day cars or 24hr shifts for OT and they do a lot of stand by events ( Dodger Stadium, all of La Live, and Home Depot Center) that you are able to pick up.
