New job..failure..:-(

Tough luck, Petel.

Still, the next job will be better anyway. Chin up, old chap.

 

Maybe because, or inspite, of my background [1] I have failed to train as as
a paramedic.

I`ll say the reasons first.

1. I smoke.
2. I admit to a little drink (never spirits) just the odd can.
3. I have a metal implant.(one in my brain and the other in my left wrist)
4.I smoke.
5.I am not (empathic) enough (pychco-test).
6. Over qualified.
7. Too old (39).
8.I smoke.
9. The interviewer `felt a bit uncomfortable` when I looked at him!
10. I smoke.


So in summary.....

Thanks for all the good intentions from ukrm.

But being someone who is capable of driving 44tonnes of steel down a
motorway, fixing a bagders leg ( not one of yours Bear;-) and being a
midwife.

It`s not enough <shrug>.

Next time I make way for an anbulance.....I`ll take a good hard look at the
driver and give him some (empathy) room to get past.

Me ....I`m not bitter....just soiled with age and smoke.

Sorry to hear that Petel.

I think you'd have been good - apart from the scary look and the fact
you'd ignore the injured rider while you fixed his bike... ;-)

Better luck next job - gotta plan yet?

 

Just got a call at 9.00pm (agency LGV)

Can I go to Greece? Now!

They`ll even cab me to Luton.

See you in a week(when I`ve worked out how to get back from
Opperdoppolis).Not a jot on saving lives and I`ll prolly have to bust tacho
hours to do it.Get fined for bringing in illegals and backy.....sod it!

Unlucky.

At least you tried. A lot of people wouldn't even manage that.

 

There will be something else.

Maybe the French will take you ? Yo0ur lifestyle seems to fit in with
theirs.

 

Arse.

You could always pretend to be a paramedic, just register the bike as
an emergency vehicle.

Maybe I'm misreading your post.

I thought that you wanted to teach. Have I misunderstood?

Bad luck Petel. I hope you find something equally interesting soon.

 

Bad luck. Just think that they lost a good man, and probably don't
deserve you.

Bloody hell Petel, that seems a bit harsh. I'm sure MRAS (Mersey
Regional Ambulance Service) aren't that strict in recruiting. And what
difference does having metal implants make on the scheme of things?

That's because most scousers don't want to work.

It's nothing to do with the implants, he turned up on a Buell.

Gosh, that's almost funny. [1] Keep up the good work.

Ah, good point.

[1] The catchment area for MRAS includes Southport and Cheshire [2], so
there really isn't a problem in recruiting.

[2] Since Trust status was achieved and the old Merseyside Ambulance
and Cheshire Ambulance services merged.

Andy Hewitt was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

I think you're right actually, and the thought worries me somewhat.

 

It means his eyes flash in synch with the blues and twos.

 

I wasn't thinking of you, actually.

<fx: thinks>

Could you not claim you were acting as an unregistered
organ transplant transporter as a way of getting off
that speeding thing?

 

So you didn't get the job because you're a chain smoking, cynically old soak
with an attitude problem who eyeballed the interviewer.

Weird.

 

Sounds like you would fit right in with GMAS, (1)

Just out of interest where did you apply?

GMAS have just had a big recruitment drive over the past two years, AFAIK
they are still taking on.

GMAS are big on life experience so your age shouldn't go to much against
you.
If you managed to get through to your interview, I say well done don't let
it get to you. My SO worked in ambulance control it took her 4 attempts to
get an interview, most of the people I work with hade tried between 2 and 10
times. Sometimes if they are a bit iffy with you they fail you to see if
you will reapply.

Its a good job and a great feeling when you finally get there.
