Got invited to a open house interview !??

[Jakex90]

I applied at a private ambulance company yesterday in Florida called medics it's something like Amr, I got an email saying I was invited for the open house interview and for me to bring all my certs., Social security card, drug test and be ready for the emt entrance exam. Has anyone ever heard of an open house interview ?? And what will be on the entrance exam most likely ?

Sounds interesting... I've never heard of an open.house but I'm sure they'll have you take a written and skills exam. Usually the written exam is like national registry. most companies want to make sure you know the basic concepts. Good luck

Sounds kinda like a group interview. They have everyone come. Take the tests. Compare your qualifications then pick the top few they want to talk to more.

It helps weed everyone out without having to do one on one interviews

Yeah that's what I was thinking because they did say before-hand that they had alot of applications to review and if we met all of the requirements we would either get an email or phone call. I'm excited I cannot wait til Monday !!

When you say bring your "drug test" do you mean a certificate that you're clean or an actual test you took with them, about drugs?

More importantly, there are companies that force you to pay for your own drug test? I pee freely, but I'm not paying for the drug test.

Yea that's weird. They aren't even talking about a hire, but want a drug test? So after this he can go take all the drugs he wants and start. Mine was no longer than a week before I started.

Anyone can falsify a drug test. That's usually why the send you somewhere that they pay for.

I mis-typed I meant in the email they said to be ready for a drug test and bring the certs.. So Yeah.
