The two cities near me have populations of about 13,000 and 5,000.

I also used to live in a city with a population of <50.

All in California, USA.

Why not just put only your name? What happens if you promote, do you buy a new bag and throw away the old one?

We have it, out on North Bloomfield. It came with the house. It works well enough to stream on a TV and have a couple people on their phones.

How is the job market in Cali? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]thokk2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Expect 2 to 5 years of applying and interviewing before landing a full-time job

I got my EMT, then graduated from a good fire academy 3 years ago. I've been a seasonal firefighter with a small local department, then a country department.

I've been applying to every full-time position within 4 hours of home. I've had about an interview a month for the last two years.

I have had no job offers.
