I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AMR (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
Submit an application to the HR department, they look over your résumé to determine if the application and all the required documents are in order. The applicant is then directed the their local branch for a personal interview, Which consists of a panel of 3 to 4 people. It is a basic type of interview with all the standard topics. From there, the new candidate is directed to a week long course - this is mainly an overview about policies and procedures for the company. Once the class is completed, the new hire is assigned a Field Training Officer; this FTO is responsible to the new hire's "on the job training."
The interview itself was fine and people seemed really nice but what they advertise on the website and what they actually require were different.
They said they were hiring part time employees and when I went in for interview, they were only hiring full time employees. Also, they only have orientation once a month, and if that doesn't work for you, you have to reapply and prepare the documents all over again like the livescan and the drug test because they have to be up to date. I wasted a lot of time and money during the hiring process for this company because they weren't transparent about the expected process.
Good. Phone interview due to Covid pandemic. Can be a little awkward however. Overall a good experiences. Typical interview questions. Past job experience, how you would handle a certain situation... etc

Interview, skills test, PAT. Pretty easy going, they expect you to come well dressed and groomed, prepared, on time, and with all of your certifications and documentations ready to be read and presented. Expect to discuss BLS or ALS protocol questions, treatment questions, pathophysiology questions, s/s q's, etc. Personal questions, scenario questions, examples of actions you've taken in the past questions
