I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at National Park Service (Pensacola, FL) in Jan 2012
Interview
I knew some one who was an ex employee and he advised me to try out. I met the water safety coordinator and he gave me a hyper link for the USAjobs application, which I filled out and I was hired 5 months later.

I applied online. I interviewed at National Park Service in May 2012
Interview
Interviewed by Gordon Miller, one phone interview, discussed living conditions, experience, background. He was totally polite, more interested in having a conversation than grilling me. He asked if I could complete a physical test, running 1.5 miles in 12 minutes and swim 500 yards in 10 minutes.

Question 1
Gordon just asked me about my background, what I was in school for. Stuff just to get an idea of my character. They really only hire high character people
