Hi folks,

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that the Forest Service is preparing to advertise an agency-wide vacancy announcement for the student internship positions on USAJOBS now in February.  As we understand it, the application period will be very short (4-6 days), so it will be imperative that students be prepared to react quickly and get their application submitted before the deadline.
Students should begin:
•         Checking USAJOBS regularly for the next several weeks
•         Recognize that “NTE Intern” is equivalent to the former STEP and “Indefinite Intern” is equivalent to the former SCEP
•         Ensure all their application documents are already uploaded in USAJOBS (resume, transcript(s), letters of recommendation, and all other supporting documentation).  Click on the following link for more resume building guidance http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/r3/jobs/outreach
•         Pay particular attention to the category job series.  For example, posting for all natural resources & biological services may be grouped in to a “499” series as opposed to breaking it out by major (i.e. wildlife sci., range mgt, botany, etc.)
•         Need to apply for positions that match their academic and career goals and choose what duty locations they’re willing to accept.  Note: there are over 700 work locations across the nation.  Again, students should be encouraged to be mobile, which will help increase their internship opportunities.
•         Attached are some Pathways documents that are helpful in understanding the program and the application process.
To help prepare students, we’re asking you to please forward and share this information with your students, faculty, and colleagues at your campus, at other colleges and universities, and throughout your network.  The brief application period will not be very forgiving if students are not aware and notified in advance.

Thanks for your help!
