USAjobs.gov

All you trails job seekers should know that the http://www.usajobs.gov/ website is the only "normal" way we can hire employees (exceptions include STEP - student hire, and few others). Seasonal jobs are typically posted in January and may be open for as little as one week.

Check out that website and if you need to, find a geek to help you set up a "JOB SEARCH AGENT". If you do it right, it will email you whenever a job is posted that meets the criteria you set up in the search agent. But be careful, if you make a mistake like misspell the word "trail" it won't give you the results you want.

The days of paper applications by mail or fax are going away (they're gone from Denali). Good luck in your search
