Interview
I was pretty nervous at first but it really wasn't bad at all. It was actually fun. You'll be around a bunch of people maybe 20-30 who are all in the same boat as you. My only advice would be to show passion. Doesn't even have to be in the outdoors. But you must show passion or you will never get hired. Just make sure they know that here's something out there you love, but preferably in the outdoors,
