Oh Dang it!

I had mentioned in a previous post that I was super excited for my interview with my local ambulance service....I unfortunately did not get the job. 

Here's what I experienced:

I applied online. I had been constantly watching the county ambulance website and one day noticed they had just opened the online application! I applied immediately with resume attached.

A few days later received an e-mail stating I had been chosen to begin the interview process.

The day of, I first took a 100 multiple choice questions exam. I thought the test was very easy thanks to the amount of studying I have continuously done.

There were 65 EMTs and 27 Paramedics. Only 14 would be chosen for EMTs and 14 for Paramedics to move on to interview, based off the highest test scores.

I learned everyone had done extremely well on their tests so the 14 EMTs and 14 Paramedics were chosen at random.

All is well though, I will try again next hiring season which will be next Spring! This gives me the opportunity to  continue my education such as EKG cert, medical terminology classes, etc.

I take this as a learning experience and I walk with my head held high.
