Then the person appointed dropped out and the job had to be re-advertised! I thought that was pretty shocking and probably a freak occurance but gave me some hope that perhaps there isn't as much people up here applying for ranger jobs. Perhaps anyway haha.
I will have to think seriously about whether rangering is for me, but at the moment I would still like to try it! Things can change though!
Oh and I'm sure teaching isn't that bad Chris! Haha, teaching is my back-up incase all goes wrong, the only thing that puts me off is unwilling kids! But it gives you a good chance to brain-wash kids into caring about the environment, if they ever listen!
Cheers again

unless there is something wrong with that job (ie bad area, very low pay, or bad working conditions) then that is quite unusual
we recently advertised a junior position (not strictly a ranger job but similar in duties and scope) for which we had 59 expressions of interest- 28 applications and interviewed 4
some better known or desirable organisations have been known to have hundreds.
