The Forest Service is hiring! They just announced they’ll be hiring a thousand seasonal spring and summer jobs in Oregon and Washington. You’ve got a little more than a week to get your application ready, they’ll be accepting them from November 14th to 20th. Jobs pay between $12 and $19 bucks an hour and include health benefits. If you’re selected you’ll get a call in early February.

The U.S. Forest Service is hiring more than 1,000 seasonal workers, but the time to apply is short – only one week, from Nov. 30 through Dec. 7. The jobs include building trails and staffing visitor service centers, improving fish and wildlife habitat, and more. Applicants shouldn’t necessarily think of the work as temporary, said Stephen Baker, a spokesman for the Pacific Northwest Region office, adding that many of today’s top Forest Service officials started out in these seasonal jobs. “For a lot of people, it is a foot in the door,” he said. “For some people, it’s just a great job for the summer or for a short period of time – and (for) a lot of people, it’s a way to begin their career with the Forest Service, or in the field of natural resources.”
