Mdowning Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I received my EMT license back in May and have applied to every fire department and ambulance service in my area. Two weeks ago I tested for a fire department and after getting cut, felt pretty terrible about it. Then the next day, the one place in my area that I REALLY wanted to work for called me for an interview, fast forward a week and a half, and they called to offer me a job!! I start on wednesday the 21st. I'm unbelievably excited and terrified. haha. Anyways, just needed to get that out there. Quote Link to comment
