Hello all, first post here.
I'm a newly-minted EMT-B and while I'm still pursuing my education and not sure yet whether EMS is the long-term career path I want to take, I am interested in getting back into the workforce and getting some experience under my belt. I have my ME card, county card, ambulance cert (that's everything, right?!)
My instructor said that I should first try to get on with Rural Metro because they have the 911 contract for San Diego, and I will get the best experience with them. However, their web site does not post any jobs or info for San Diego, nor a local phone number. The google and Yellowpages.com phone number that comes up is wrong...does anyone have a good number for this large, yet elusive company? :sad: Better yet, could someone who works for them locally put me in touch with the person in charge of hiring?
Any other tips from local EMT's and Paramedics would be greatly appreciated! Known job openings especially, but any general info is great, too! Should I try to hold out and get a job with R/M or AMR, or should I start applying with some of the BLS companies that do inter-facility stuff? How long did it take you guys to get hired after you graduated?
Thanks in advance!
