for those of you who have gotten their EMT certification, how exactly do you find jobs? does the class that you take often hook you up with a job or point you in the direction?

im seriously considering taking this EMT class, but i dont want it to be all for not and have a hard time finding a job... could someone please shed some light on this?

consider moving this post to the "pre-hospital (ems) forum"



all you do is apply to the local ambulance services around your area---contact your local state department of health or your school for a listing of services (i'm sure your school can guide you in the right direction)

generally, there are two routes: private vs. public (911) EMS. It is (generally) very easy to find a job with a private EMS (which, if you work nights, can also include tons of emergency calls) and more difficult to find a job with a 911 service (unless its a rural area). good luck

There are many cities that utilize private ambulance companies as their 911 service, i.e. Austin, TX & Tulsa, OK
