Mmmm from what I've been researching, the failure rate on the test is pretty high tho. it's meant to filter out about 70% of the applicants.

Has anyone applied but lacked the experience they require?
There are the 4 questions they are you about previous experience and I was wondering if anyone knows how heavily they weigh on it.
(I can only answer 2 of the 4)

I hope they email you saying that you have passed the interview process.
Anyways have you taken the first aid & CPR-C course yet?

SBSO. I'm assuming that's the student part-time position?
