Need advice to get hired as an ER tech in SoCal

Got my EMT and phlebotomy cert, thinking it was enough but I've been ghosted by every hospital around me.

Can I get some advice on what I should be doing next?

What are my chances Calfire hires me?

I don't have any of the NWCG certs or went to an academy.

But I do have my EMT-B, BLS, all my ICS certs (100,200,700, and 800) and I'm going to get my First responder hazmat level II cert so I can qualify in the "Partially trained" category.

I've been in EMT for over 5 years but only in IFT and special events. No 911.

Probably not relevant but I also have a phlebotomy and EKG cert. I don't know if it will increase my chances since its useless in most of CA, but I was thinking of getting Advanced EMT certified.
