getting my ideal job

Hi Martin

Are there any other routes into the job you want?   Are there any similar jobs where you will be able to pass the tests?   

Can you build the qualifications individually on a part-time basis?

Do you have a Plan B?

I have thought about work in the ambulance and just need some experience and have got funeral care as the plan b but this is not the job  i want nervelessly it is an option if i have to take it, i can get the qualification but i do not have the patients or confidence to do so, do you have any suggestions

Funerals will always be a growth industry - great money if you look good in black  .

Where are you with your qualifications?   I'd guess there's a split between ambulance workers - some will be doing the pick-up / drop-off daily stuff where other will be out with the blue lights flashing - is that where you see yourself?

I watched some youtubes recently about an ex-police pursuit officer - he was always on the scene first dealing with all sorts of human trauma - until the job broke him.

I'm not sure I could ever do that job - but I was a first responder at work - a glorified first-aider - mainly cuts, scrapes & falls..

Thanks for the encouragement and i have not totally given up on ambulance work, wanting to do paramedic but will probably do driving patient transport for a couple of years but i just need someone to keep me focused on perusing a driving career with the ambulance service
