The Service's CARES 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. You must fill out several pages of electronic forms in order to use the system. Once you have logged on and created an on-line resume, you can find and apply for jobs.
The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) can lead directly to a job with the Service after graduation. The Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) is a general student job program.
This is the main portal for Federal jobs. If you are looking for a Fish & Wildlife Service job, you can use the Agency Search feature.
