i genuinely don’t know what to do
i got certified almost a year ago now and i haven’t been able to find a job where i can use my emt certification and i feel like giving up. the area i live in is so extremely oversaturated with emts its extremely competitive. i’ve applied to amr and was turned down, ive applied to hospitals as an er tech and was turned down for lack of experience and i interviewed at a smaller private ambulance company and was also turned down. how the hell am i supposed to get experience in this field is no one is willing to hire people without experience. a lot of my classmates are running into this same problem. should i go back to school and get other smaller certifications or even think about jumping right into paramedic school? that was never apart of my plan because i know going straight to paramedic school is problematic in a few ways but my area needs paramedics right now. any advice is greatly appreciated
