Detroit EMS

Are they hiring?

I was wondering if anyone on here works for Detroit EMS?
I recently applied for a job and received a letter to take an exam
next week. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what I should expect or If its worth it.:wacko:

If I was single and without kids I would do it just for the experience. But thats up to you, it will most likely be a trade off of getting great experience but under poor working conditions.

someone should call the UN and request a peace keeping force be sent to that third world country

I am currently working for a private company and not really sure if this is a leap I want to take. At the same time this opportunity doesn't come around often. Not really sure what to do.

Did you end up going to the test?

Yeah... Emergency Managers are not cheap... And it's no secret that Detroit isn't the wealthiest city around :unsure:

The EM was appointed under state law, under protest of the Detroit City Council, and is being paid for with state funds (very well too).

Unfortunately it could be the wrong experience repeated constantly. Unless you knew you'd get an awesome FTO/partner, constantly seeing "bad" calls will likely only reinforce bad habits.
...

That's anywhere, though.

Depends what you're looking for...
