      EMT Interview

      Feb 23, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rural Metro (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Interview went well. Know your patient assessment. Majority of questions are EMT scenarios. Interview was today so not sure if I got the job or not. Definitely a positive experience for my first EMT interview. Interview consisted of a Field Supervisor and HR Representative. Not intimidating like some interviews I've had in the past for other positions elsewhere. Just be prepared and CONFIDENT and it'll flow smoothly.

      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rural Metro (San Diego, CA)

      Interview

      The interview process was simple. You apply online. If you're lucky enough to have a referral your resume has higher priority. After a couple weeks, you'll receive a call to schedule an interview. The interview was simple. Three person interview panel. They ask you personal and protocol/situational questions. Know your protocols, be respectful, and know yourself. After the interview you should hear from HR within a week or so. Good luck!

      Anonymous employee
      Glendale, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rural Metro (Glendale, AZ) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      Interview process was appropriate and concise. Questions asked were appropriate for the position I was looking for. Interviewer was experienced in the field and made me feel comfortable during the process. Was not a gimme interview. There were a couple of truly serious knowledge based EMS questions that without proper education and training would have sunk me. Over all felt that the interview was a thorough good representation of my knowledge in the field and desire to work for this company as an EMT.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why I felt I belonged in the EMT position I was applying for.
