Consider how the position you are interviewing for will fit your long-term goals as you apply for jobs. As you know, becoming a paramedic takes a lot of hard work and training. There are many options once you have become a licensed paramedic. You may want to consider fields like nursing or becoming a physician's assistant, or you might aspire to work as a paramedic supervisor. The exposure and experience you get while working in this field will open many doors. Think critically about what you want for your future and share how this role will benefit you by helping you get to the next step.

"I love being a paramedic and cannot see doing anything else. My career goals are to get hired by your company and promoted to Field Training Officer in the next two to three years. By then, I will have five years of experience and will feel comfortable training others."

"My career goal in the next few years is to gain more experience and become even better at my job. Once I have more experience, I am interested in applying for a supervisory position with this company."
