Alright /out/... in the words of Pickle Rick, I might have fucked up here. I desperately needed a new job after being laid off as a teacher. So when I got this interview I lied my ass off and they hired me. As a winter snowshoeing expeditionary guide in upstate Minnesota.

Now, I live in Colorado. I ski, I hike, I've even snowshoed before. But this is Minnesota. This is fucking Fargo territory. People are counting on me to keep them alive when they fall asleep on the ice at -40.

So... like, any tips?

>pic related, it's a developed fucking road.

Research. Pray, if that's your thing. Good luck.

1st they probably aren't going to throw a new guy into the middle of no where by himself with a bunch of people who don't know shit either, i don't care how many times you have done something your first day on the job should be shadowing someone so you know how they expect things to be done, everyone does shit differently.

if they insist otherwise you should tell them you do not feel comfortable as you are used to the terrain and climate of Colorado not Minnesota and you would like someone more experienced to show you the ropes of the area, more then likely they will do that because you have already made it that far it and would take longer to fire you then hire a new guy.

also the best line i have ever used was "actually i don't know that but i can learn it real quick" shows them you're honest while not being a complete moron, just don't use it too much.

Did you lie about anything like avalanche certifications or wilderness first responder?

Don't let them go to sleep in sub 30 celsius.
If they can't feel their fingers, tell them to put them in their armpits for heating.
There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.

This. Guide companies will have you shadow a returning guide to learn the route, learn the tour blab and everything else. They'll run you through simulated problems and fuck ups and then have a returning guide Shadow you a few times to make sure you know what you're doing.

This is SOP all over the industry. If you get there and they don't have a training set up, walk away because it's a shitty outfit.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
