When it comes to our state application, a little extra guidance can go a long way! Some major tips to think of before submitting those applications: - Add all of your relevant experience, not just paid. We accept paid and unpaid experience, which includes volunteering! - If you have military experience, be sure to use civilian terminology. The hiring manager reading your application may not have military experience. Visiting https://lnkd.in/gUqHFG_z may be helpful to find the right translations. - To receive Military Employment Preference, you MUST attach your documents to your application when you submit it. Visit https://lnkd.in/ehsti_s to learn more. - Watch our video on how to apply here: https://lnkd.in/ghiWg2H7. Lastly, submit the application before the close date! Once the close date has approached, there are no edits/changes/late submissions allowed. We hope this helps! #BetterOutside #TexasJobs #VeteranJobs

Saturday’s Sisters in Fire event was a success! The annual event aims to introduce young women to the wildland firefighting profession by immersing them into all things fire. They were split into four squads (teams) and rotated through four stations that introduced them to various topics and skills relating to the wildland firefighting profession. They learned how to suppress wildfires with fire engines, bulldozers, chainsaws, and hand tools. They also learned leadership and communication skills that are critical for wildland firefighting crews. To end the day, the girls and their families viewed a live prescribed fire demonstration, boarded a Texas Parks and Wildlife helicopter, and watched a Dauntless Air Fire Boss amphibious aircraft make two water drops. Thank you to the event cooperators: USDA Forest Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), The Nature Conservancy, Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System, Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute, and The Kansas Forest Service.
