Good news fellow EMTs... I have an interview at Trinity Mother Frances Hospital working as a tech in the ER Friday. The only problem is when I fillied out the application, it clearly stated that one of the requirements was one year EMS experience. I dont quite have 1 yr experience, but I did complete nearly 200 hrs of clinicals durring my basic program, half or more were at the hospital I am appying at. But you know me, I applied for it anyways... whats the worst they can do... say no?
I do need some advice... how can I convince the interviewer that I am qualified even without my year of experience...? I did go above and beyond durring my clinicals, and I passed the NR on my first attempt.
Also, something that I ran into durring a previous interview for a differnet position was my previous employment. When I left my last job (cashier at a small grocery chain), I did not give any notice. I didnt give any notice because I had to move unexpectadly, and there was no way I could drive back and forth. What do I tell the interviewer when they ask me if I gave my previous employer notice when I left. As soon as a say "no", they always start the next question, and I dont get a chance to finish. I believe this has cost me 2 jobs already.... WHAT DO I DO?
