What state or country will this interview be in? What level of certification do you have? What company is it with?

Providing us with that information will help us to help you better. Welcome to the site.

Additionally, is this for an actual EMERGENCY Medical Service position, or with a non-emergency transfer provider? The questions and replies would vary with each. Not all EMT positions are created equal, and neither are all personnel managers. The more you know about the organisation, the easier it is to determine the best way to proceed.

well your interview date has passed, but in case another ems professional has the same question; most employers have moved away from yes and no questions, and moved towards questions that require you to prove your views or competence on an issue. Instead of "have you ever run 911 calls ?" you might hear, "tell me about the most critical 911 call you have ever run". Instead of "do you do well with difficult coworkers?", you might hear "tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult coworker and how you resolved the problem?". The best advice is to think about the questions you pray to god that they do not ask, and then come up with the best positive answer you can come up with.

Be prepared to produce copies of your driver's license, EMT cert, and possibly a radial pulse check. You might even walk out with a uniform.

Or they could schedule you on another day for that.
