Working in a National Park

Living in a place that most people only get to visit is one of the many rewards of working in a national park. On your way to work in the morning you might walk through a forest of ponderosa pine (yes, they really DO smell like vanilla!) or a grove of aspen. After work you might sit on the rim of the Grand Canyon and watch the ravens turn cartwheels overhead, or go fishing in a cold mountain lake in the Grand Tetons. You'll meet people from all over the world, and make friendships that could last a lifetime.

Interviewing: Preparing for the Interview

When preparing for an interview with a prospective employer, most people take the time to do some research so that they can learn more about the company. Among the topics researched are the company’s history, their products, their financial status and any key events that may have taken place during the recent past.
