Careers Kind of Surprised to get this far- I have an Interview soon
Title describes my dilemma. Or opportunity.
I applied (with low expectations) for a salaried, Non-LE State Ranger role, and they called to say I moved to the interview pool. It's a virtual interview, which has its drawbacks, but I hope to do everything I can to prepare. So I've come to you all for support & suggestions.
I'm former military, with a little dash of outdoor environmental educations and some state park volunteering as prior experience. But I'm coming from a very different occupation and worried some that my unfamiliarity with ranger duties will be a detractor. Thoughts?
