EMPLOYMENT WITH THE SERVICE
We are frequently contacted by people interested in employment opportunities with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Service maintains an automated employment and referral system, called CARES (Conservation Applicant Referral Evaluation System). CARES electronically prescreens candidates and ranks them according to specified criteria.
CARES will let you search for available jobs in the Service; create, edit, archive your electronic resume; and apply for some specific jobs online.
CARES also provides you with an opportunity to establish criteria to identify the type(s) of jobs you are interested in, and will then notify you with an email message when that kind of position is open.
Another way to check for employment opportunities with the Federal Government is to visit the USAJOBS website maintained by the Office of Personnel Management. There are various ways to search for specific types of positions from this point.
We also employ a limited number of student interns depending on available funding and workload. For additional information on the Student Temporary Employment Program STEP and Student Career Experience Program SCEP, please go to these links or contact our office at (847)381-2253.
