I'm out of work. I worked as a doctor in the er for 15 years. I was let go from the hospital I work at since I only had 15 years in. I might open a private practice. I don't get a lot of TV time. My husband watches his crime dramas after work. I have not been to the theater in a few years. I love nachos. I like spicy nachos. I have an interview at a local clinic. It is an urgent care clinic. I like the excitement of helping people under pressure.
I like being in parks. I like to watch nascar and UFC. I'd like to be in the medical field someday. I am thinking of applying for EMT and paramedic classes. I don't think I could be a physician. I've been an usher at an orchestra theatre since age 16. I can get free passes to the theatre. I love beef, beans and tomatoes on my nachos. I like spicy nachos too.
My interview at the clinic went really well, I'm just waiting to hear back now, keep your fingers crossed for me! That's awesome! I'm glad you think it went well! I'm planning to send my application to the EMT program next week, any advice before I do it? Be as detailed as you can be about your interest(s) in the field. They want dedicated people, because the work is difficult and stressful on the body and mind. Okay, I can certainly make sure that I'm detailed.  Thinking about my app, I'm worried about seeming wishy-washy and wish I'd been on a more consistent path since I was younger. Your personal history is important, but not as important as you might think in EMT work. What are you concerned about? I feel like my work experience doesn't really show much interest in the medical field.  Like, I've really loved being in the orchestra but I feel like it doesn't help me break into the medical field at all. Ah, no, that's not an issue. They want live, dedicated individuals... Okay, thank you, I know you're the expert here so I will stop worrying so much!  I'll just stay optimistic and try to present myself with enthusiasm. The good folks who hire EMTs want people who are deeply interested in the work and who will be trainable and sustainable. You'll know pretty quickly whether or not you're cut out for the work. So don't worry about it. Apply and follow through. That's my professional advice. Sounds good, maybe if you get this job at the clinic I'll be able to find work their too.  It would be awesome to know someone at work before as I'm getting started. Probably not. You're going to be busier than you've ever been before as an EMT. And I suspect you'll love the work. If you have any doubts going forward, confide in me, and I'll give you my best advice... Sage advice for sure.  What's next for you if you don't get the clinic job? Still considering your own practice?
