How to find volunteer work that promotes gaining skills for wildlife conservation and research career?
In the last year, I have volunteered anywhere I can: local forest preserves with prescribed burns, invasive plant control, promotion of native plants, and weed scouting and a wildlife center educating the public about conservation challenges, introducing guests to resident animals, and caring for and handling resident animals. At the wildlife center, I asked to complete a project gaining information on individual turtles in their turtle enclosure including length, weight, and gender. The turtles were also marked to identify them individually. What other volunteer opportunities should I be looking for to gain additional skills? #wildlifeconservation
How else can I improve my career path ?
I have started college and I am looking to start a career with the fish and game I am currently working on my bachelors degree and I am going to try to get a internship with fish and game this summer to help give me experience. My question is do you think I am on the right track, if so how else could I improve my chances of getting hired after college?
