Click Me: If You've Worked at an Ontario Provincial Park
Hey guys, I just got hired as a park naturalist at an Ontario provincial park and I was wondering if anybodys done this before and if so did you enjoy working there? or was it hard and stressful? Any thoughts and/or tips would be appreciated, thanks!

One of my friends did it for the past 2 summers and she found it pretty stressful for maybe the first week, but then after that she really loved it and decided to go back the next year

hey thanks for all the answers guy , and i found this job from

http://www.gojobs.gov.on.ca/SearchSE...Search Page=1

it's a great website, what you have to do is first fill out their SEP application form, it's somewhere on their website, attach your in your resume, SEP app and a cover letter, i'm not sure if they say that a cover letter is mandatory but i personally think it got me more interviews. what i did was i found a job that i thought was interesting such as Assistant Fisheries Technician and I handed in the same resume and cover letter for them, changed the SEP app # for each of them and applied to every single one . if you're going to apply tho you should do it fast cause the deadline for most of the postings that are still up is june 7, good luck to anybody that applies!

Bad job application practice, FYI.

Having been involved in hiring people and responsible for critiquing resumes at work, that is something that really screws up people's applications. Also, once you start looking for full-time employment, general resumes and cover letters put you at the bottom of the pile.
