Ontario: Superior North EMS Hiring (Closing October 22/07)

[BEorP]

Hey guys,

I noticed this today so I just thought I would pass it along since it seems like recruitments are happening less and less these days in Ontario. The closing date is Monday so I know it is not a lot of time and it is only for part time.

Good luck to anyone who applies

Having worked for them in the past I HIGHLY recommend anyone go up there if they are looking for a unique EMS experience.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

I've actually got one question. In the official posting it states, "Must hold a valid ARCON work fitness certificate at commencement of employment."

But in a different page on the site it states:

"If you are interested in applying for open Paramedic vacancies with Superior North EMS, you will be required to hold a valid PAE Summary Certificate at the time of application."

Is it worth applying even without the fitness test complete? And is there anywhere in Southern Ontario that you can have a fitness test done that they will accept? Is there anything special about the one that they want?

It may have changed since I was hired... I heard a rumour it was changing but for me after my interview and everything I had to go to get the ARCON testing done. There is one company in the province that does it that I know of and I managed to do it in London.

I would suggest contacting them to inquire due to the possibility of changing.
