Hi everyone, I'm an EMT-B with about a year of caregiving experience now, and my previous jobs were mostly retail and farmers markets. I've been looking for work in the ED, and I've applied to Stanford and El Camino health, without much success. The job postings state that they only require a BLS card, and no prior work experience. It's surprising because I'd expect them to look for someone with prior experience, but anyways ya I've just been getting rejected and it's just been really hard. My resume isn't that lengthy, I only mention related experiences and my certifications. I just really want to work and it's been hard. I don't know why and I'm starting to think I'm overqualified. I don't plan on leaving after like a month or two, I want to work for as long as possible to fund my college education and build more clinical experience.

Hi everyone! I recently just got my EMT license and I've been applying to every ambulance company nearby. I'm in California and the oversaturation of EMTs has made it very hard to find work on the bus. I was a care giver prior to EMT school, and I have a lot of experience when it comes to patient care.

Recently, I've been applying to ED technician and Anesthesia tech positions. I applied to Stanford for like 4 jobs, but I'm losing hope. None of the other hospitals near me have any positions. The positions at stanford only require a BLS card, and I have a lot more than just that so I figured I'd have a good shot, but so far they haven't reached out to me. It's really hard just trying to get a job right now and I feel like EMT school was a mistake. Money has been really tight and I'm trying to find work to support my family but at the moment I'm losing hope.

Aside from caregiving, I spent most of my life on a farm selling at a farmers market and tending to crops. I just wanna get out and hopefully go to med school one day.

TLDR; How can I get ER Tech positions?
