Horsing around

[alpharaposa]

Well, the message from Oceana was to say that they didn't see any horse experience on my resume, so if I wanted the job, I needed to send them an email detailing any such experience.

It's sent. I'm not the horsiest of people, but I've known how to ride Western since I was eight years old (courtesy of the Girl Scouts), and I've worked on a real ranch (courtesy of the Boy Scouts). I've also earned the Ranger Award from the BSA, with Equestrian as one of my electives. Just one of those things that doesn't come up often.

My Ranger Award electives were Equestrian, Outdoor Living History, Backpacking, and First Aid. All so I could wear a pin that says "Ranger" on it on my uniform. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be like Strider. There are worse goals in life.

I don't do much with horses, but after a lifetime in the Methodist ministry, I am as fine a judge of horsesh*t as one can be.

Gosh - it seems to me that those are strong credentials - and diverse. It might be very important to have the First Aid, and the others evidence stamina and perserverance.

Good luck - I hope you get an interview.
