It all sounds rather mad to me. Not the best post to attach this on as not really linked, by the way I'm new to this so hello one and all, but I'm on the verge of applying to the LAS for a trainee EMT post. I say on the verge, I'm currently staring at the application form and wondering what to write on my personal statement without making it sound like I'm a right div. Anyway, I'm beyond the 'don't do it!' stage but any advise, suggestions or what ever, you can offer would be welcomed. Great blog by the way.
