MosaicNate Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 So does anyone else have a hard time finding a job? I just finished my EMT-P, and yet I still can't find a company that will hire me, or that doesn't have something posted saying their next hire date is in "2009"...

strippel Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Nate, where are you? Around here, we have fire fighters waiting years for jobs, but not paramedics. If you have applied at a paid union fire department that provides ALS, you may have to wait until they decide to accept applications, and run their civil service testing. It is dependant on population growth, but mostly retirements. Some cities/counties are constantly hiring/testing, others don't for years. Many city and county departments in Maryland and Virginia are always accepting, and run scheduled testing every year. Here in PA, most EMS is not provided by union fire departments, it is provided by hospitals, or non-profit organizations, who hire frequently.
