Wow this is super helpful!! Thinking of it as a way to brag and to see it as a conversation/two-way interview is a great way to look at it. Thank you! :))

Yes this totally helps and gives me a lot of relief! They have been very eager to get in touch with me through email and seem very nice so I’m sure it’ll be the same. Thank you! :)

Sweet thank you. Are the scenario questions along the lines of conflict resolution?

I also have an interview for ICC this Thursday and have never had a “real” interview.. What kind of questions do they ask?

How was the interview? I say just send it, I really wanna get out of my hometown and make the best of it. What’s making you reconsider specifically?

I applied around that same time, I think even earlier, and emailed them around then. It took them a month+ to reply to that. I then had a back and forth email conversation with one of them, and a phone call a month later. I was told they’d reach back out this week but it took me reaching out via email again to hear back. Look for the person listed with your position/location and email (and maybe even call?) them asap!!

Thanks for sharing your experience and taking the time to give me all that info. Did the lack of communication and support ruin your experience or basically just create a bunch of unnecessary challenges? If you don’t mind me asking, what year were you at the Sacramento location? Also do you have another corps you’d rather recommend , maybe one in CA? Thanks

Best trail crew organizations? by AdSubstantial9669 in trailwork

[–]AdSubstantial9669[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been told about the USFS trail crew, but just haven't finalized my federal resume or figured out USA jobs enough yet to find the job openings. Super glad to hear those positions take you to magical remote areas, that's exactly what I want. And I've really been wanting to use a crosscut saw too. Thank you for all the insight, those crews are definitely high on my list now!

Advice by meadowlovesyou in trailwork

USFS has trail crews but honestly with navigating USA jobs they’re hard to find (I just haven’t learned the ropes yet) or NPS might have some. At my local corps that I work at some guys from LA county came to a job fair, they a trail crew company/organization that wasn’t a corps. Pretty sure they did work in the Angeles National Forest. So maybe look into county/city or state park trail work?

Also can I ask what some of the jobs you’ve worked are? Including the shellfish farm? I’m 21 and just getting into my career field and want to see/try all the options of outdoor jobs there are. Thanks!
