I applied online. I interviewed at The Mariners' Museum and Park in Mar 2025
Interview
It's a two part interview. The first you have with the head of the department and HR, the second is with the rest of the park ranger team. The first interview is a very standard "tell us about yourself and why you want to work here." And the second is more of a "will you be able to work well with the team" type of thing while talking with them during a short car ride.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What drove you to apply for this position, and why do you want to be a park ranger?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Mariners' Museum and Park (Newport News, VA) in May 2014
Interview
The interviews happened quickly and were first with the Visitor Services Manager, then other assistant managers. The questions were very typical/unchallenging. However, the job description did not match the actual duties... the job is a straight forward retail position that doesn't require a background in museum studies, history, archaeology, etc.
