First EMT job test? Any advice?

[emt322632]

When I interviewed for my job, I laid out my plans for the boss as best I could. I didn't give BS (other than the usual pleasantries) and told him exactly what I wanted to do for the company and for myself, i.e. going to Paramedic school eventually after completing college, and gaining more experience as a provider.

During training, I didn't pretend to be anything other than myself. I'd like to think I've turned out alright, and I've been with the same company for almost 2 1/2 years.

Remember everything is a learning experience, not one person knows everything, there are just people with more experience and more training. As others said, go on to Paramedic school, it shows the company you're interested in EMS as a career and informs them that you're a driven individual.

As for the tests, expect perhaps a trauma scenario, maybe a full arrest or some such thing.
