well i did a search and couldn't find anything, so i think this hasn't been covered before.
i want to get into raft guiding next summer(i know that's a long time from now, but i need to start figuring shit out as there may be some other big changes for me next summer/fall). i'm not exactly sure where i'll be applying, maine if i am staying in new england or somewhere out west if i end up going to bozeman for school.
i'm currently taking a wfr course and next semester i may be taking a wfr to emt class. i don't really have any valid whitewater experience (messing around surfing waves at the beach with a kayak is not something i plan on putting on my resume and i've only been rafting once), but from the research i've done it seems like i still might have a chance getting a job with some companies. i'm a fast learner and i guess being a snowboard instructor has given me some leadership experience with a group of people who don't really have much of a clue as to what they are doing.
basically i'm just wondering if there are any other things i can do to make myself look more employable to outfitters and what outfitters are generally better for newbies like me.
so feel free to jong away, but any help is appreciated.
