Answer 2

If you feel that your lack of qualifications may hold you back, why not try and get some experience.

A lot of employers prefer actual hands on knowledge to certificates and grades.

You could try becoming a tree warden for your local area:

"Tree Wardens are volunteers, appointed by parish councils or other community organisations, who gather information about their local trees, get involved in local tree matters and encourage local practical projects to do with trees and woods."

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

not to be smart but learn to use spell check especially for a resume.There are lots of graduates from forestry colleges and trades programs you need some sort of education before any company would even consider you as a candidate,also many of these jobs are seasonal or contract positions that last for 2-8 months.My son recently got a job for the Parks service and it is only a 2 month contract July and August
