of the Interior  \nNational Park Service  \nSEASONAL EMPLOYMENT  \nSince its inception in 1916,the National Park Service has  \nbeen dedicated to the preservation and management of  \nthis country's outstanding natural,historical,and recrea-  \ntional areas.Today the National Park Service encom-  \npasses more than 350 sites across the United States and in  \nGuam,Puerto Rico,and the Virgin Islands.There are parks  \nof great natural beauty and grandeur,such as the Grand  \nCanyon and Yellowstone;parks that preserve the Nation's  \ncultural and historical treasures,such as Mesa Verde,the  \nStatue of Liberty,and Gettysburg Battlefield;parks of  \nsignificant recreational value along seashores,lakeshores,  \nand riverways that provide opportunities for outdoor activi-  \nties and relaxation,such as Assateague Island and LakeMead.The National Park Service is a bureau of the U.S.  \nDepartment of the Interior;it should not be confused with  \nthe Forest Service of the U.S.Department of Agriculture.  \nEach year millions of people from the United States and  \nabroad visit these national park areas.To protect park  \nresources and to serve the public,the National Park  \nService employs a permanent work force and an essential  \nseasonal work force.Besides working in the parks,these  \nemployees may also work in the National Park Service  \nheadquarters in Washington,D.C.,at any of 10 regional  \noffices located around the country,or at two special plan-  \nning and production centers-the Denver Service Center  \nand Harpers Ferry Center.\"Seasonals\"are hired every  \nyear to help permanent staffs at most of these locations,  \nespecially during peak visitation seasons.The variety of  \npositions available may surprise you.Campground rang-  \ners,fee collectors,tour guides,naturalists,landscape ar-  \nchitects,firefighters,laborers,law enforcement rangers,lifeguards,clerk-typists,carpenters,historians-persons  \nare hired for these seasonal jobs and many more.What-ever the job,seasonal employees have the opportunity to  \nlearn more about the National Park Service and its mission  \nand opportunities for permanent employment.  \nSeasonal jobs are difficult to get.The number of applicants  \nfar outnumbers the positions avalable every year,particu-  \nlarly at larger well known parks.Some positions are filled  \nby experienced seasonal employees who have worked  \npreviously for the National Park Service.And,Office of  \nPersonnel Management regulations require that veterans  \nof the United States Armed Forces may be given prefer-  \nence among applicants.In the summer season,when most  \nseasonal employees are hired,employment opportunities  \nare extremely competitive.However,there are excellent  \nopportunities for applicants who have qualifying law en-  \nforcement experience or training.Only those applicants  \nwho meet the qualification requirements and conditions of  \nemployment described in this folder will receive consid-  \neration for seasonal positions.Competition is usually less  \nkeen at smaller,lesser-known parks and for seasonal jobs  \nin the winter season.  \nEntry-level grades for National Park Service  \nseasonal positions range from GS-2 to GS-4.  \nGS levels indicate the rate of pay for most  \nFederalGovernment positions.The higher  \nthe GS number,the higher the hourly wage.  \nCheck with any federal agency or with the  \nOffice of Personnel Management for cur-  \nrent salary information for these grades.Prevailing local wages(WG)govern mainte-  \nnance positions,such as seasonal laborer  \nand skilled trades and crafts positions.WG  \nlevels indicate the rate of pay for such  \npositions.The higher the WG number,the  \nhigher the hourly wage.GS levels and WGlevels are not equivalent.WG wages arepaid on an hourly basis according to prevail-  \ning wage ratesThe standard work week is  \n40 hours.Overtime may be required;addi-  \ntional compensation is provided for extra  \nhours worked.Most seasonal positions  \nrequire irregular hours of work,including
