New certified emt need resume help!

[keen912002]

Hello, my name is keenan, im 21.

I just got my emt and nremt finished and trying to get out there and apply for jobs but you need a resume. I haven't made a resume for medical at all and I don't have any experience in the medical field. Next, I was wondering if anyone had a good template for a new emt with no experience and just a resume template for emt. I have looked online for a great while and couldn't find a resume template for a no experience emt. and I am lost on what to put under experience since I have none. Please help.

As far as a layout, keep it simple.

Since you have no experience it is going to be light, and that is going to be hard. Anything you can put on there, do it. I taylor my resumes to where I am applying. Include any volunteer or pro-bono work, because it makes you look good. Also, consider extra classes and stuff to pad your resume until you can add real work experience.

Do you have customer service experience? Because that's a lot of what EMS and medicine in general is.

You don't need a resumè with a ton of ambulance companies or fire departments on it to get hired.

My current résumé that I use has beach lifeguard, lifeguard supervisor, professional ski patrol, a jewelry store and my EMT-I and medic stuff on it. Not a ton of EMS stuff.

meaning like tailoring your skills and objective sections? and I did a 10 hour hospital rotation while I was in Emt school, would I put that in my resume somewhere? Would I still put like my last three jobs in my work experience? only thing is that there is no relevance except communication and customer service skills.
thank you for replying to my post by the way

No need to include your rotations, that is required coursework.

Include your last 3 jobs, its better than having no job experience.
