Well, I think we kind of shifted this into a Paramedic Plus post, haha. Wonder if we should start a new thread. I applied as soon as I read this. I wonder when they'll begin to contact people. I am somewhat excited, but doubtful since my inexperience and the current job situation all over the US. The application was a little confusing because it doesn't ask anything about an ambulance driver license, however, it does mention EVOC. It has "other cert" options, but not enough space type "ambulance driver license", or replace license with cert, which is what it really is. It says "EMT Basic Intermediate", and I don't know of any EMT-II (Intermediate) in Alco, however, I am not certified with Alco, I am certified with Santa Clara County (directly south of Alco), and they do not recognize EMT-II. It also asked for state cert rather than county cert, and I know we just switched over to having state certs too, and you can look up your number on
www.centralregistry.ca.gov, but I don't know if they wanted my state cert (this is very recent thing, happened July 1 I think, and a lot of people like myself don't have the card for it yet, I only found out how to look up my number from somebody newly certified who got the card, and the card says to look it up on the back), or county cert. I chose to put county since I do not have a state card yet (won't get one until I renew). Meh. It would be interesting to hear back from them.
