Give any relative background, including courses you have taken, certifications you have, volunteer work, and ride-alongs. You might be a new EMT with no prior work history. That is fine; everyone starts somewhere. Whether you are a new or seasoned EMT, show you have done your research on the company you are interviewing with. That is part of preparing for the EMT position.

"I completed my EMT program through XYZ College one month ago, and just received my National Registry certification. Before entering the program, I received my CPR and First Aid training through the American Red Cross. While going to EMT school, I rode along once a week with AMR to gain field experience. The Paramedics and EMTs were very helpful and let me assist with vitals, splinting and bandaging, administering oxygen, and setting up IVs."
