This week Umar worked on his resume for applying for natural resource jobs.
He talked with Barb Miranda about his week.

What did you do this week?

It was an office week. I created a new resume for government jobs.

 

What was challenging about this week?

Sitting down in front of the computer all week was hard. It was long hours.

What did you learn that was new?

I got to learn new stuff regarding computers and programs.

What else?

I never dreamed I'd get an opportunity to apply for work in Hawaii. Actually I always thought I was going to always work in Detroit or Michigan area so this a big difference.

What did you picture you'd be doing for a career before you became the WildLink Intern?

Actually I didn't know what I would be doing. In Detroit people weren't doing anything good with their lives. Hanging out, wasting time, dealing drugs. Most people in Detroit with no education end up in minimum wage jobs and get fired in a couple of months.

Coming here its like a door has been opened and there are so many job opportunities I would never have even imagined if I hadn't come out here.

If you got offered a job in a Park or Forest in Hawaii would you take it?

YES!
