years of professional experience

Self motivated individual looking for a career change. After 14 years in manufacturing I am looking for a more public serving role. I completed my FF1 and hazmat OP's this past fall and am enrolled in FF2 and EMT this fall with completion in December. My goal is to join a full time department as a FF/EMT with the end goal of obtaining my paramedic.
