JOBS IN GOVERNMENT

Government at the city, county, state, and federal level is a very large natural resources employer. There are a wide variety of job vacancies in conservation. Step one is finding the opening. For some reason government agencies are notorious for changing their web site names and file locations. Consequently it is very difficult to keep these links current and accurate. If you cannot find a file, try "backing up" the address by dropping the file name and looking for the directory. Sometimes this will reveal the new location. Or you can't find the agency listing here, try Natural Resource Information.

Federal and State conservation careers often have two levels, each with their own career ladder. One level of jobs do not require 4 year college degrees in a specific environmental subject. Professional level resources careers do require 4 years of college or more, even at the entry level. Each 'career ladder', has different pay, benefits and promotion. Make sure your career ladder is leaning on the right wall. while it is possible to get a 'tech' job with a 4 year college degree, the reverse is seldom accomplished.

Also, if you are looking to obtain a federal job you would benefit from visiting the excellent site at The Resume Place before attempting to write your resume. It has great tips.

It might be wise to check Salaries and Wages and gain more insight into the federal career process at GovExec.Com. Understanding the life-course of a career with a government agency can help you assess potential jobs. Do you want seasonal employment or a fulltime career. You need to know where each type of job category leads - to fulltime, year round work or is the job always going to be summer-seasonal work.

State Natural Resource Agencies

Most of the resource agencies do not directly post jobs on their sites, but may include links to current vacancies. Looking over their webs will give you insight into working conditions, critical issues, and more. If you don't see the right department for your state, try the official state websites, or check under Forestry. Also, with every election government agencies tend to reinvent themselves, which may mean completely new websites, new urls, new department titles and new job titles. One state's 'Department of Natural Resources' is another state's 'Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources' or 'Department of Conservation'. There is no consitent agencies titles across the USA.
