A year ago, as I was just beginning my retirement, I was curious about National Park Service jobs and regularly read descriptions of open positions with the agency. Of course, a few months later, many of the people who were hired into the jobs I had read about were summarily fired by the new administration. Even so, I still get notifications about employment opportunities for NPS from a job website I'm subscribed to.
There are some key differences in the postings now and those of last year. First, all the jobs are paradoxically described as "Temporary, Part-time, Seasonal, Full-time." The hours of these positions are usually capped at 1040 per year, which means that career security and benefits are not part of the deal.
The other significant difference is the following sentence included under "Additional Information": Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution.
Hmm.
