Resume template?

[pfmedic]

Im going to be starting out and to apply for my first job as a basic. =)

However, they want me to turn in a resume.

Well, I dont have any field experience. Most importantly, I have never typed up a resume for this kind of work before. Anyone feel like sharing their resume with me so I can see what it looks like, or perhaps provide me with a link to a template that looks like the style I need to use?

I found a template online. What do you guys think?

I would add a line at the bottom:

References: Available upon request.

and then make sure you have some if they are requested!

I could show you my resume, but it's not for emergency services.

 

[pfmedic]

should I throw in other somewhat related training such as my hazmat ops training and my experience at the volunteer fd?

 

[pfmedic]

well I dont need to see your personal resume. I just want to make sure that everything related to ems resumees is covered. and you have been helping with that. thanks

 

[emtff376]

absolutely. volunteer service and extra certs are always a plus.

 

[emtff376]

I read and write a lot of resumes, so anything remotely relevant to your job objective is worth adding to your resume. You may have a skill that is not primarily what your employer may be looking for, but it may put you ahead of someone without that skill (e.g. hazmat ops).

If you'd like me to look over yours when you're done, let me know, and I will.

 

[pfmedic]

thanks alot.

For friends that have questions about what to add and how to format it you can read about it at resumizer.com.

I would reorder your resume slightly:

1. Header
2. Objectives
3. Employment History
4. Education / Certs / Training

Also consider adding a cover page.

For your objectives, perhaps something like:

"Paramedic with emergency department experience seeking challenging work as a 911 provider."

I read lots of resumes for my software position and if you send me a PM I'll send you an example of my resume.

(Please forgive me for necro-posting. This topic came up when I attempted to start a new thread.)
I was wondering if it would behoove me to put down on my resume (BLS/IFT) that I have experience with assisting the physically impaired in the form of helping my friend who has Moderate-to-Severe spastic CP and utilizes an electric wheelchair to get around. Also, that I have experience with assisting the visually impaired in the form of a roommate I had years back who was completely blind. Thanks!
