When someone asks where I work, I proudly respond with “The Department of Conservation and Recreation with the Division of State Parks.” Coming from an 18 year old, this tends to sound rather impressive. I have worked off and on with State Parks for three years. Sure, I’ve had other jobs at salons, doctor’s offices, etc. None of them can compare with my experience at State Parks.
During my employment I have gained valuable administrative experience, and received excellent customer service training. But most importantly for me, I have been converted from what my mother refers to as “an improper foot wear, city girl” to a hiking boot wearing outdoorsy girl with a new found love and respect for Mother Nature. And the best thing about State Parks is that there are so many opportunities for people my age. You could be working in one of Virginia’s most precious resources!
