    Paramedic Grad w/o Experience Needs Job

    in General EMS Discussion

    Posted

    Welcome and congratulations.

    It's a tough spot to be in for sure.  Any connections from your ride time in paramedic school you can work for leads on who's hiring?

    Another option to consider is local EDs as a tech.  No, it's not working the street but many EDs use EMTs and paramedics as techs.  If nothing else it could help get your foot in the door and start making some money to help offset bills while you continue to work on getting a street job.

    If there truly is nothing in your area have you considered moving?

    Thank you for the suggestions and am looking at tech positions 'as we speak'.  Contacting folks from ride alongs tomorrow as well as individuals from the program.  Definitely not opposed to moving but hoping not to.  The quintessential catch 22 rears its ugly head.

    Newbie here and new Paramedic grad.  Passed boards and applying for jobs, but having a tough time.  Have a BS in Bio and EMT-B but no experience as EMT-B or as a Paramedic.  Applying for every job where no exp. is required; including all surrounding areas, but can't even get an interview. 

    Any suggestions/ideas?   Anyone from the Charlotte area that may have some connections?  Am willing to start at the bottom, work any shift.  Need to pay bills. 

    TIA
