I just had an interview with an EMT company. There were 3 parts personal interview, skills test & practical. I felt very confidant on the 1st&2nd parts.
(Recently I was T.A-ing for an emt class and I moved the dummy 160lbs ish and gurney onto ambulance with very little assistance. So I know that I'm pretty sure I'm physically able to do this job. FYI I'm 5 ft 120 lbs.)
However they used weights(40lb 90lb 120lb) to test during the interview, I did horrible . There were 3 increasing in height tables I was supposed to move the weight to, then do 3 squats with it. I tripped a bit moving to the tallest one with only the 40lb weight. I couldn't even lift the 90lb to the 1st table.
I can't believe how hard that was for me, I'm positive if I had any experience lifting weights that I should have at least been able to get to the 2nd table with the 90lbs, I felt like my body kept getting in the way , I couldn't find my center of gravity or something.
Has anyone had similar experience during an interview failing at something your sure you could do at least half competently?
