Wish me luck

I've got an interview with work (ambulance service) to get on a Paramedic course .

I'm not sure about my chances 'cos there's loads of competition but it's worth a go. I need to spend the weekend preparing though and have absolutely no idea what to prepare :blink:

If I manage to get on I'll have to go to North Wales for 7 weeks intensive training then spend another 7 weeks in an operating theatre learning some skills on real patients

Wish me luck

Huw

Could well be now but I can't stick pins in people yet . On the whole there's not alot of difference between a technician (what I do now) and a paramedic except when things get a bit serious they have more skills/drugs that they can use. And they get aid more

That' what I do now. I'm an Ambulance Technician which is one step down from a paramedic. Most people wouldn't know the difference though since we generally do the same thing. Ambulance driver albels both jobs

Officially 37.5 but we don't get a paid break so have to pay these back so it's really 39 hours average. Then we always at least 1/2 hour overrun plus overtime. Usually work closer to 50 hours average :lol:

What if I tell them I'm an amature entomologist, that'll baffle 'em :blink:
