Does getting terminated effect....

[mycrofft]

One BIG no-no after you get fired:

Badmouthing your former employer. Never go farther than "We had irreconcilable professional differences" (which will get a laugh for firings from entry level jobs), unless you have a legal decision against them...even then, only if pressed. A new employer will not want an employee who "got" or "trashtalks" their former employer.

Oh, and two other quickies:
1. Hope your thought ordering, spelling and grammar at interviews are worlds better than what you are slinging here.
2. Speaking from experience, once the sting lessened I learned from each of the few times I was fired. I know folks who didn't. Tell yourself they were not smart to fire you, then go make that true on teh next job.

My grammer is better i know i don't spell everything out, sorry for that. But i haven't even had an interview yet. I just hope that all the effort i am putting in will work out in the end and i will be happy when i finally reach my goal. Although i will always make more goals when im happy with where i am at, because there is always room for improvment and learning no matter where you are in your career.

You can go far then!

And, for future reference, job hunting is always easier done while you are working rather than waiting for the axe to fall. Took me three firings to get that.



NO, they weren't all from medical gigs!:blush:

That's the best idea yet. I worked security for a month and a half after getting fired from my old ambulance company before I found a job as a hospital tech. And it took me two months to get the security job. I swear those two months were the longest ever

I know i should get a temp job till something opens up for me somewhere, but im dreading working for some place that im gonna hate or not want to be there. I told my self that i don't want to settle for anything else besides EMT. Ahhh so frustrating!

be patient, it took me about a month and a half to find a job as an EMT, and it also took me about 7-8 interviews, and i applied to about 20 companies

I think youre making too much out of getting fired from one job. It's not like you had conduct issues. You didnt steal from them, or get fired for being lazy or incompetent. You missed a day and didnt call in, you have an explanation, that you thought you had that day off. I dont know what the rest of your employment history looks like, or if you even have any other history. But they would obviously look at that.

The EMS field is massively overcrowded, its rough to find work as a basic with no experience regardless of work history. Where I live its impossible, there is only one paid service around here. They cover a pretty large area. They are ALS and handle both 911 and IFT, and they wont hire a basic with less than a year experience doing 911 calls, and even then you are competing against plenty of others.

I would volunteer if you can, maybe take a CNA class, which is short and easy and can get you employed in health care at least. Thats what I did. It's not glamorous or as easy as working as an EMT. But you can learn probably as much or more as you can just doing BLS transfers, depending on the work place.

I would continue your education if you can afford to, take college A&P and other related classes.

Im most likely going to take my medic prep classes because i know it will help me out a lot even being an Emt-B it will give me a better understanding of the human body. Im going to do some volunteer work at some hospitals and try to keep my ride alongs going if i can.

Musicmedic- I have been applying for Emt jobs since the middle of Feb. i know i need to be patient im sure sooner or later something will come up. When it does i will be so thrilled and relieved.
