Greetings all, first time poster, and brand new EMT-B.
I am seeking a job with a private company that has primary 911 responder service. I live the the San Francisco Bay Area, and many of the local counties contract their 911 EMS to private companies (ie non Fire Department). Mostly, that means American Medical Response.
I have applied with several AMR locations, and recently took the written pre-employment test with AMR in Alameda County. It was 80 didactic questions and 40 personality-integrity type questions. As I recently passed the National Registry, I think I did pretty good with the test.
The next steps are an interview, and if that goes ok there is a skills test. That ends the pre-employment, after which I assume I would get invited to an academy.
So, the big step is the interview. Any suggestions here? I've done literally hundreds of interviews, but nothing at all close to the EMS profession. What can I expect? More importantly, what do they WANT to hear?
Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated, especially with anyone who had done the AMR process.
