On Tuesday, November 17 the Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland will host a workshop in Prineville to provide information on seasonal employment opportunities with the US Forest Service and how to apply for jobs.
Every year, the US Forest Service hires thousands of employees into temporary, seasonal positions to work on public lands in support of fire management, wildlife, recreation, timber, and other programs. Employees usually start around May or June and finish around September or October, depending on the position.
This year, job applications for seasonal employment during the summer of 2016 will only be accepted online between November 30 and December 7.
At the workshop, employees will provide information on registering for and using https://www.usajobs.gov/ to apply for positions, where to find out about employment openings and job descriptions, an overview of temporary hiring timelines, as well as answering questions and providing some tips for job applicants.
