I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at National Park Service (Empire, MI) in Feb 2014
Interview
After making it through the online application, the only other step is a phone interview. After that, you will receive an email with an offer or rejection. The time between the application and interview can be quite lengthy, on the order of several months. The online system should notify you even if you are not selected for an interview, but even this can take a while.
