Hey there.
I recently was scheduled an interview for Bay Medic in Salida, California. Does anyone have any advice on the interview, and does anyone work there to give input on the company. I’ve applied to so many place around California, this place reached out first. The company seems nice at face value. Lol
Any thoughts?
Thank you
I find it hard to believe AMR isnt hiring. Especially since they just took the Merced County contract. The grapevine says they need to hire over 100 EMTs.
Anyways. I havent heard much about bay medic. Nothing negative, at least.
I’m coming from Tulare county…I’ll be commuting to where I get hired at. It’s gonna be brutal but until I have a few more $$ saved up to move to eho ever will hire me first. I’ve worked 911 for a month in my local area but they didn’t give a crap aboit me or training, yet now no one is hiring. AMR never gets back to me, same with Royal. So, idkkkk
Have you tried Sequoia Safety Council? They dont really advertise that theyre hiring, but they usually are. I know one of the supes there and theyre amazing.
I haven’t! How can I apply? I’d love to give my resume and application to them! Thank you
Just Google their name, go to their website, and apply online. They're pretty busy for being "rural". If you want to get into the thick of BLS 911, that's a good spot. Im not sure how their staffing is now, but they have no qualms staffing a BLS 911/IFT truck if they have to and their EMTs have full autonomy to cancel incoming ALS and work within their scope.
Also, if hired, be prepared to learn how to drive an international tank of an ambulance.
Youre going to start out IFT.
Ask if they have 911 and how you get a piece of that action.
Also how the cct bus runs since there's are 2 emts.
A lot of back to back SNF runs, from what I hear. Mixed reports on whether they still have a few manual gurneys in use, or if all gurneys are powered. When I applied for them, the offer I received did not match what was advertised, so I rejected it, and accepted an offer elsewhere.
I saw you're in Tulare County. The company I work for (based in north bay area, mainly) won't want to hire an EMT that far out, even though we have 48 hour full time shifts that open up from time to time, because we have plenty of applicants from closer to home. Nobody wants to hire an EMT who has to drive hours and hours in unless the company is desperate, because the chance of that employee leaving is much higher than someone with a normal commute, all else being equal. I'd say focus on applying more to places within 1.5 hours of you at the very most - the closer, the better.
Good luck!
I worked on their CCT unit as a nurse. They were ok. I liked management honestly. It’s not a place to build your lifelong career but it’s a solid place to gain initial clinical skills.
