Hi everyone. I am a newly certified EMT in the Bay Area, as well as an 18 year old freshman at Berkeley. How do I apply for jobs, as I obviously do not have any work experience or volunteer emt experience yet? What I'm looking for specifically are the following:
1. Do I need a complete career portfolio (cover letter, resume, letters of recommendation, etc.) when applying for jobs?
2. How should the resume be formatted? As in what categories should be included? I am particularly concerned about this because my relevant EMT information is at a bare minimum.
3. Should I not include clubs and organizations that are not relevant to emergency response? Such as a Public Health coalition, and ballroom dance team member..
I am aware of the fact that my chances of getting my job are very slim, but I would very much appreciate the advice and anything else you can think of telling me to help me at least have a better chance.
