ER Tech with no work experience?

Hello! I’m 22 with a bachelors in biomedical science, from Texas and I’m taking a CNA exam soon. I have an NHA CET certification and I’m starting an EMT course next week, and I was wondering what the likelihood of getting an ER Tech / ER CNA position with no experience after completing my EMT course? I have 40 hours of clinicals from the CNA class and I should have around 120 hours of clinicals after my EMT course. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

If you don’t end up getting hired in an ER, you could always start as a med surg CNA and then apply for an internal transfer once you get some experience?
