AMR EMT Basic interview questions

Two people interview you and ask questions. Get drug tested, and have a physical test but it is very easy, nothing to stress about. The questions asked were not easy nor hard, but you'll most likely get the job since the company needs people desperately. The people interviewing were nice, one had a mean mugg but was not rude. Its not as laid back as other interviews but it wasn't too tense either.

I submitted my application online and received an email within two weeks. During my interview, I was asked several basic questions (listed below) in a one on on setting with one interviewer. Following the interview, I was scheduled to take the physical assessment test (PAT). During this time, we performed basic exercises such as unloading a weighted stretcher from the back of an ambulance, lifting a portable EKG device and weighted medical bag out from a stationary vehicle, going up and down stairs with weights (forwards and backwards), deadlifting a weighted backboard, and performing CPR without stopping for 2 or 3 minutes. Afterwards, we were sent to Quest Diagnostics for a drug screening and underwent a background check. When I passed, I was invited to a week long PAID orientation session and told I had the job. Orientation consisted of many presentations at the Broward site, where we were introduced to the staff, and listened to lectures. We practiced utilizing a manual stretcher many times, writing reports on the tough books, and attended an Emergency Vehicle Operators Course in Miami. Upon completion, we were given 3 PAID ride alongs with a field training officer (FTO), where we were graded and critiqued on our performance. Once that was all done, we began working on our own with a partner. Overall, my experience was very good. My interviewer was friendly and welcoming, and during orientation we met a variety of characters that were great speakers, experienced from working within the company, and were very friendly. My FTO's taught me a lot during my ride alongs as well.
