CARES (Conservation Applicant Referral and Evaluation System)

To access CARES please go to: http://jobs.fws.gov

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) CARES system (Conservation Applicant Referral Evaluation System) is an automated employment application processing system, which electronically prescreens candidates and ranks them according to specified criteria.

CARES lets you search for available jobs in the Service; create, edit, and archive your electronic resume; and apply for 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 job is open for application. CARES is simple to use and is designed to meet your Service job search and application needs well into the new millennium!
