In an e-mail to “joseph.donovan@usda.gov” with a subject header of “Inyo NF recreation job outreach response”
- Indicate which of the 4 position(s) in order of preference interests you
- Indicate the order of your preference of Inyo NF duty stations of: Mammoth Lakes, Lee Vining, Bishop, or Lone Pine. Most prefer Mammoth Lakes, but housing is limited due to its resort town status. However, housing may be available in Mammoth Lakes ranging from $250 to $750/month.
- Attach a resume.
Apply on USAJobs.gov between February 20 and March 3 (estimated open dates), and select the 4 Inyo NF duty stations.
The additional e-mail to us beyond applying to USAJobs will help Inyo NF differentiate names on the certification lists who are seriously interested in our Forest and our positions over those who blindly apply to all duty stations across the United States that are not interested in recreation jobs (the forestry tech series job description is very broad).
Good luck!
