I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about the physical test for CARE Ambulance. I have an interview next week that I've been preparing for. I've been researching on this forum and I know there is some sort of back test if you get an offer but I was wondering if anyone could give me any more specifics. I'm a female, 5'1", and about 120 lbs. I've been working out and weightlifting for over year but I'm still super nervous about the physical exams.
I had a physical exam for another ambulance company the other week but I wasn't able to get the job because I wasn't able to lift 150 lb to waist height. I was able to lift it no problem to hip height with straight arms, but afterwards the tester told me to bend my arms 90 degrees to get the 150 lb to waist height! This kind of sucks because I've been focusing so much on leg strength and I wish I had known about this so I also could have been working on arm strength as well. Do you guys know if other companies are like this? Thanks in advance.
