-: The biggest thing that I personally like
and my rangers kinda follow suit
is that we like the interaction with the customers.
We like to get involved with the clients
that, the people that visit our parks,
the kids, the seniors and the adults that visit the park.
We like to interact with them to enhance
their experience to make it an enjoyable visit
and to let them know what we all have
here to offer at the Department of Parks and Rec Center
and what the rangers can do to make it better.
The biggest challenge is we only have
about 12 to 15 rangers in strength.
We're required to cover the 70 plus facilities
and it kinda stretches us out a lot
but we do our best with what we have
and we've learned to do more with less for some time.
The park rangers are very diverse.
There's only 12 or 13 of us in total
but we're a very diverse group.
We have four women.
We have latino rangers.
So we look for someone who can come and fit in
and you know, it's almost anybody,
that loves the city, loves our facilities.
So we encourage everybody to apply
when there are positions come online.
We always have multiple applicants that you know
require us to do a review of everything else.
As you know when there are
jobs come online everybody applies.
So we look for diverse candidate
that likes to interact with people
that has the background, that knows the DMV
can manipulate the city and can get in
and around the city with little to no interference.
