Tips for Interpretation Intern Interview
Hi everyone! About eleven or so days ago, I asked a question about a Wildlife Conservation Degree for an Interpretive Ranger and you all were super helpful—thank you! Today, I have a question about an internship interview.
To supply some substance; I'm nineteen, only in my third day of college with an Acreddited University to get a BS in Wildlife Conservation, a forest lover, and a lot new to this field.
Providing some important information, this wildlife program is a non-profit and works with the U.S Forest Service. I applied for an Interpretive Education internship with them after business hours on this past Saturday (Via website.) Well, they opened back up on Monday and sent me an Email pretty quickly asking when I was available for an interview. We set the time for Tuesday, next week. This interview is very important because it could be my first stepping stone into the wildlife field (Which happens to be via Google Meet because I'm about an hour and thirty minutes away) and any tips or advice to nail it would be incredible.
To be frank, I'm shocked they even want to interview me at all. I have no experience in the field yet (other than 3 hours of volunteer work with NPS), but I did make it clear in my Email (I went even as far as to email them after I applied on their website.) that I was very passionate and determined, with utmost willingness to learn even though I didn't have much knowledge yet. Even as driven to travel the hour and thirty minute commute in my car everyday if I must.
I'm a bit nervous, a lot excited, and more than anything want to do my best.
Any advice, tips, or just some things to read or watch to nail this interview? Anything helps, thank you all!
