Interviewers want to know the reason why you left your last job. Avoid saying anything negative about your coworkers or supervisor. Many EMTs leave prior employment in a different industry to seek a new career opportunity. If leaving another EMS company, your reason might be because you were looking to work closer to home or wanted a company with a higher call volume.

"My last job was working at Home Depot as a salesperson. I left six months ago to go to EMT school so I could pursue a career in EMS. I left on good terms and was told by my supervisor that they would hire me back if I ever wanted part-time work."
