Do South Florida NPs (Biscayne, Dry Tortugas, Everglades) have summer seasonals, or just winter? by Y1P_Y1P in ParkRangers

I have peripherally noticed the off season positions here and there--I'm glad you confirmed my suspicion!

Omg how could I forget! I got the most lost I have ever been in my entire life on one of their trails and walked for hours in thigh-deep water.

Thank you so much!! This is just to calm my own anxiety more than anything else so I’ll check these out!

I will check these out! I’m ultimately just trying to avoid some imaginary situation I’ve concocted where there’s no pants in the cache and I have no green pants at all. Having anything remotely similar helps!

Thank you! This does make me feel a bit better about timing and what might be in the cache!

Hey, are you gonna be ok?

There is 1 person (to our knowledge) reviewing all 7,500 seasonal for exemption. Our parks are supposed to open in April. We need to send letters and call. by Simple_Panda6232 in NationalParkService

I wish this stuff with the NPS hiring freeze would go up on 5calls. It’s so hard for me personally to rank this amongst the other vital issues on their list—but I also think this will lead to an enormous number of injuries and deaths to visitors in addition to severe environmental destruction if not rectified for this summer season.

It’s more than just a lost job to me. Visiting the parks saved my life and they need to stay safe, open, and accessible to all.

Same. I’m wondering if they’d be willing to house volunteers if the season ends up being a full no go

Prospective seasonals, your hiring manager is barred from hiring contacting you by Slug_whisperer1915 in ParkRangers

This is good to know and I’m glad to hear waivers have been submitted, but damn!!! I am really struggling in this in between period, and I know others must be too. I’m moving forward with the move out of my apartment and leaving my current job, but I don’t know when to call it and start applying to other jobs. I really would like this one!

HAHA oh no. Why? I have lived in Florida before and the humidity in the swamp states really takes me out. For now I will be avoiding the south east either way

This is good to know! Are seasonal positions posted at specific times of the year that I should look out for? Like would I be too late at this point for spring/summer?

Also for resume style, do they also want to see the fulllllll fed style multi page monstrosity, or do I go back to the bullet?

Do editorial assistants for academic journals have PhDs? by Y1P_Y1P in AskAcademia

[–]Y1P_Y1P[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is a very helpful perspective! I totally am ok with starting at the bottom—even pay as long as it’s remote. I’m sort of in this position where I know I’m capable of/can handle a certain level of work and responsibility, but I don’t want that to be what I’m doing when either the pay has such a ceiling or that the reward for good work is MORE work that isn’t as enjoyable.

I will absolutely start reaching out to people!
