Additional Information
I am a US citizen currently living abroad and moving back to Florida. I have a passion for caring for people and would love the opportunity to become an EMT in Florida which would include relocating to the desired opportunity if it became available. Having lived in Florida for 14 years, I feel I have the knowledge and lifestyle that fits this career. After hearing about the current shortage of EMT's, I would jump at the opportunity to work in this field and welcome the career change.
