Hiring question

I keep seeing other people say they’re getting hired, especially for hand crew positions. I also see alot of folks comment and say hand crew is usually the easier way to get hired. I have an application in and selected all units and put hand crew as my priority, engines second. I’m in category 2 currently, only thing I’m really missing is emt or PSFA. I also come from the fed world having worked on engines and hand crews so I have Wildland experience. Am I just not getting called like others because of not having the medical certs? Or is it just that hiring is slow right now?
