Hello,
I've been a certified Emt-B since 2010 with two years volley experience and 4 months of BLS transport experience

I've been searching for a job in the NYC area but so far I've been rejected from 2 other transport jobs. What do I need to do for my application/resume to be more competitive?
 
It should not be that hard... There is plenty of jobs in NYC last I checked.

You should be applying for FDNY regardless.

That's because no one wants to commute to SI lol.

Strong Island is the place to be.

Not sure. Been out of the game a little while.

911 companies are harder to get jobs with especially with no experience.

Transcare is the parent to many hospital based units.

St. Luke's Roosevelt
Bronx-Lebanon
Mt. Sinai
Northshore LIJ
Jamaica Hospital
New York Presbyterian

LIJ/Presbyterian would be the optimal two companies to get on with outside FDNY but you usually need to know someone.

If you are a young guy/girl FDNY would be the best thing in the world for you. They pay less, but not everything about your job can be measured by your paycheck.
 
You probably get into FDNY position before even getting an interview in the aforementioned hospitals. Look for IFT companies that would be your best bet.

They are basically the same as NYC with a couple additions.

Nothing groundbreaking or comparable to more progressive regions of the country.
 
I dunno. A cc is going to be, more or less, where a medic was a few years ago.

Then there is the RSI...
 
who uses a CC in the city? Nassau County maybe but not the 5 boroughs
 
My comment was about Long Island. NYC don't use CCs although there are plenty of them around.

Most ALS providers in Nassau and Suffolk are CCs.
 
Not particularly fond of the CC program... Its an easy loop-hole to allowing volunteer services to acquire ALS providers with minimal training.

If paramedic isn't enough, CC sure as hell isn't...


But anyway, OP monitor this site for FDNY listings.

I would definitely look in to TransCare. They are always hiring. As NYCMedic828 stated, you can promote in to the 911 system through them.

You have little experience, applied to 2 places and weren't hired, and it's "so difficult" to find a job... Try working in literally any other field aside from maybe garbage collecting :wacko:

Its actually next to impossible to get on sanitation in NYC... good gig.
 
Most urban municipal sanitation gigs are very hard to get.
People make fun of being a trashman(woman, to be PC), but who's really laughing when they see the pay/benefits?
