Me and My Job
2 - Engineering, Science & Technology
Need self-motivation

I have a lot of independence in my job, which requires a lot of self-motivation. I have to have well-honed time management skills because with independence comes the responsibility to make sure I get the job done.

I'm a jack of all trades as far as foresters are concerned. I wear a lot of different hats: forest operations forester, silviculture forester, planning forester. In other circumstances they would have specialized foresters for each of those duties.
