Hey all, so I got a few resume questions for you all, if you'd mind. I tried the search, but couldn't find anything related to high school graduates seeking employment. I'll try to keep it short, but I don't really have any one that can help me with this (mom is unemployed, step dad is construction, so neither have experience with resumes), so any help is much appreciated.
I graduate high school Tuesday. I've been certified since March as an EMT. Recently, I just passed my NHA certification tests for phlebotomy/ certified medical lab assistant.
I'm looking for an ED tech position, because I can't work on an ambo (Az is 21+ for ambos and my driving record isn't the greatest). I know these are competitive spots, so I'm trying to make a pretty good resume and I have family in 2 of the main hospitals around here, so I'm hoping I can get in and a lot of friends through the fd. If not, I'm putting in apps for phlebotomy positions to get my foot in the door.
Here's the questions I have;
1. What should I put for work experience? I haven't worked in over a year and no one is left at the company I worked at that worked with me and it was only at Subway for 3 months and a construction company for 2 days (I passed out from the heat and they asked me not to come back due to that). I unfortunately do not have volunteer experience, either.
2. My EMT class was 208 hrs vs the required 120 (I believe, I know it's under 140), should I bother to put that?
3. I only have around 12 hours of ride time with the fd, should I put that? I didn't get to do any actual interventions, only was standing by for a psych pt and a trauma code that was DOA. I have tons of clinical experience for phlebotomy, none for EMT, though.
4. I'm graduating high school with honors and exceeded on 2 of the 4 state mandated tests, should I put that I exceeded those in achievements? Would it be worth while?
5. I plan on going to get an AA of paramedicine starting in the fall, would that be something to mention in an interview?
Sorry, it's so long. I think I had a few more questions, just can't remember them off the top of my head.
Thank in advance to anyone that helps out, I could really use it, haha.
