Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.

Companies pay a lot of money to advertise their job openings and interview potential candidates. The interviewer wants to hear what marketing methods are working best. They also want to know if you heard about the position through a recruiter or employee of their company. Some organizations have an employee referral program to pay their employees who refer qualified candidates. Describe how you heard about the position and list the person's name if it was a recruiter or employee of the company.
