I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NORCAL Ambulance (Dublin, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Initial screenings are done online or via phone. Mostly to check for required certifications and outstanding incidents on the DMV H6 form. In-person interview consists of 3 parts: written/map test, skills scenario, interview with HR/management. Everyone is very friendly, questions are standard, no trick questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a challenging or difficult situation and how you navigated it.
Started with assessment, then discussed hours. Prior to the interview, company page advertised job flexibility, but declined me (college student) saying that they were looking for "full-time" employees. The manager acted unprofessional and made unnecessary grimaces when I talked about my scheduling.
