Interview Day @ Base Station
Written Test:
After check in, about 20 of us took a 50 question written test heavily focused on anatomy and some scenarios. 80% to pass.
Interview:
Two people interviewed me (1 training manager and 1 ops manager I believe). They were both very nice. We talked about where else I applied, what I thought about EMS through the process and then why Care.
Then, they switch gears and asked about 5-6 behavioral questions. I felt it was a hard search down the memory lane. (They are also very strict about employment history I presume they are going to check some of the stories with the appropriate supervisor.)
Skills Test:
Very Straight forward. Was given a detailed skills sheet that has the grading criteria stated. (bleeding control, tourniquet, opa/npa, airway & ventilation, splinting...) The guy who tested me was picking my brain for some beyond scope stuff. I was worried at first but he wanted to know how I think and did not count that against me even if I said the wrong answer. He also was very patient and taught me minor but nonetheless important things I didn't know. It was a great learning experience.
Skill Test was pass fail (will pass w/ less than 2 critical fails)
and interview scored on whether 1)background 2)action 3) result were present.
If you passed both you will pretty much be hired.

Question 1
Name a dangerous work situation and how you've handled it or help prevent it from escalating
The interview was ok, they start off with the normal questions then go into a scenario. took about 30 minutes. They people were nice, they pointed out a lot of turnover.
Easy did a hire vue online interview heard back from them in one week got offered to do their two week orientation. Did one week of in the field training, pretty straightforward and easy. I would do it all over again.
The interview was online. You record yourself and can retake the video if you choose to. They had very simple questions and they were very easy to answer. Overall very easy interview as you can redo basically it all.
