I know it seems early to be thinking about summer employment/internship opportunities, but frankly, it is that time of year again.
I would like to highly recommend summer jobs in the National Park Service to all of you. It is a great experience for a college student, you can make some decent money and it looks excellent on a resume for a variety of future career paths. NPS sites around the country are posting job vacancies now and will do so for the next month on the following website: http://www.usajobs.gov/ Job titles that you may think about looking up in the search engine include but are not limited to: Park Guide, Visitor Use Assistant and Park Ranger (Interpretation). Many parks offer housing to college students who work at their park during the summer.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Personally, I have worked at Jewel Cave, Agate Fossil Beds, Homestead and Effigy Mounds National Monuments. There are many more sites as well in the NPS, if you are interested in finding where see the map at http://www.nps.gov/.

Students in college often neglect the service and work experience part of their resume. This would be a great way to distinguish yourself from other applicants, especially in this down economy. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Good luck!
