      EMT-Basic Interview

      1 Aug 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Milpitas, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rural Metro (Milpitas, CA) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      After I applied, they quickly called within a few days about an interview. After the interview which I didn't do so well in I was called back to do another interview that essentially asked more EMT questions and then was offered the position. After that you go through a week long academy then it's off to a short week of field training which should've been longer.

      EMT-Basic Interview

      8 Aug 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Mesa, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rural Metro (Mesa, AZ) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      Typical interview- meet one-on-one with a supervisor and answer questions. My interviewer was very nice and let me have a minute to think about my answers without rushing me. The only downside is that the interviewer isn't an HR person, so they can't answer questions about salary or hours. Also, he didn't know when HR would be getting back to me. He suggested waiting around 10 days before expecting a callback. I wish their process was faster, that's a long time to wait for a call.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell about a time when a supervisor or manager asked you to do something you disagreed with.

      Interview

      I recived an interview request by email 10 days after I applied. The interview was very basic, I answered all questions with ease. This was my first emt job so I was extremely anxious during the skills test, I did so bad but they still invited me for orientation. The HR coordinator was so nice and down to earth, I'm in love with this company.
