Question for interview

What attire should I wear to the interview? What are some clues that one is doing well in the interview? What things should one bring to an interview?

Three Qs about resumes

#1 Why is it kept to one page?

#2 How far back is too far back for work experience?

#3 In what area should I but service and volunteer work?

career fair

I visited Rebecca from the BLM.

I talked to more about the STEP and SCEP program.

I learned that the requirements are pretty easy.

You just have to enrolled in school at least half time

Have a 2.0 GPA

I also visited Mike from ponderosa pine resort

Its a outdoor resort by the east side of Zion.

They have lots of different jobs there include recreation guides, event planing, front dest/reservation, and kid camps.

I gave both of them my resumes. I am thinking I would want to work at the BLM more because it would be more of a career move.

Worth Ethic

Worth Ethics

Through the reading I like the freedom to grow ethic the best.

It basically states that everyone has the right to develop to the greatest potential.

This is really important because we all should be given opportunity to do this. In America it seems really obtainable compared to other countries. We have the opportunity to go to school and seek advancement through education. It doesn't mater what you background or who you are everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves.

I also like the idea that people should be free to grow in aesthetic, psychological, religious and philosophical though.

Thoughts from Part 1 of Stewards of Access/Custodians of Choice

The first quote that grabbed my attention was on page 7 from Tocquerville, It says, "He who has set his heart exclusively the pursuit of worldly welfare is always in a hurry..." The majority of people today I believe are in this category. People often go into a park and ask what can I see in three hours. That is just not enough time to take it in. We are so used to instant gratification, we have instant food to but in our microwaves.

The next quote that grabbed my attention is on page 8. "its difficult to become reaccustomed to seeing people already weighted down with possessions acting as if every objects they did not own were bread withheld from a hungry mouth" I have been guilty of this. I always want the bigger and better product even though last years product is good enough. I am a big gear head, when the next year's jacket comes out I often want it even though mine is in good shape. Often I feel that we are just entitled to these things.

The part about the tragedy of the commons really made me think. Everyone is going out in the wilderness to escape, but often we see the exact opposite. When I went to Yellowstone two years ago there was not a place you could go with out seeing another single person unless it was wilderness. There was often traffic jams and just lots of noise. In the summer time these places are super busy, like if you wanted to go to a place like Mount Timp. you would never be able to find any solitude.

Grad School Questions

What do schools seek in a applicant?

What is difference between online and residential?

Is being a doctor what it is all about? Do you 4 out 5 doctors say you should go to grad school?

Leadership

In the reading it describes many different types of leadership theories and styles.

One of the theories is the trait theory of leadership, which suggests that leaders are born not created. I disagree with this theory because I believe that can be made, though I also believe that there are some leaders that are born.

Another theory in the book is called the charismatic leadership theory. It states that leaders emerge in times of crisis and turmoil such as MLK, Churchill, and many others. In the book it states they "fulfill the unmet emotional needs of their completely trusting, overly dependant followers" These leaders are very influential, the may be influential for good or bad.

The book also talks about a few styles of leadership. The one I connect with is the democratic style. I like this style because I like to take in others Ideas, and make sure they feel needed. It also allows me to take in ideas that I may have not thought of.
