I have been going through these forums trying to gather as much info as I can before asking questions. A lot of the answers are here already.
I don't anticipate even applying for a position for another 6-8 months, I want to finish up my B.S. Degree in Public Admin.
I am a firefighter/paramedic and would like to apply for a paramedic job. Everything I have read to this point states they match your currently salary-which in all fairness, with the perks being offered in addition to the actual paycheck seems very generous(free healthcare, no SS taxes and all.)
The one thing I haven't seen addressed is someone who has several jobs. My firefighter job is a 24on/48off schedule so I basically work a 56 hour work week. I also have 2 p/t teaching jobs( one teaching other firefighters at the local college, and another teaching future EMTs and Medics at a private college) and another job working in an off duty capacity through the fire dept at things like football games, concerts, etc.
My question is (after all that) do they take into account all your jobs or portions thereof when making a job offer? Part of the job I would like to apply for calls for being an educator as well as providing medical services, so they are relevant to the position I will apply for.
Thanks!
