[Truck-10-VES]

Im in Florida and the job outlook here is pretty grim. Can anyone from Illinois shed some light on the outlook there?

Seems like it, I just did I spot of research. I knew a guy who left my paramedic class to go to I believe Austin. How long have you been employed there?

At least in my area, the majority of cities test just to maintain an active list and only openly tell you after paying for the application they have no intention of hiring. I know guys that have been hired as a class of 1. It's truly miserable and feels as though getting a job around here is as rare as winning the lottery. It seems as though unless you live in the town for which you apply do you even remotely have a chance given preference points.

Honestly Illinois is a miserable **** hole to live in anyways, you'd be best off looking into a free state.
