The summer is season is upon!

 

As the cold of winter fades to spring, as it will to summer. I feel myself readying for my trip north again, as if an inner migratory behavior has come over me.

 

My winter was cold and dark, filled with spots of warmth. As I feel myself began the thaw, my bags are packed, but I know I will be going over it once more.

 

This year I shall be spending my third season in Alaska. I have come to find a position within Kenai…

I find myself asking this question, I have just looked at the app for a DNC position and found the app to be well shocking.

So I have started the process of landing a gig in the most extreme locale of my life. Antarctica, the real land of the midnight sun and ice.

After talking with HR, I was told my info would be sent to the chef and low and behold I heard back the next day! NANA moves pretty fast. They sent me a packet to review of what to look… Continue

Or my favorite filling out those apps on there websites, they are all the same or when they send you a PDF. to fill out and they have not saved it to were a person can fill out the fields.



Now I am at my second stage on some jobs and no word on others.
