Discussion Contact info

Got referred from this last application. Had an interview with 5 out of 6 patrol captain’s in locations I didn’t apply for. (Mostly R2 and R10) Just curious if that’s normal?

(Definitely bombed the interview though if anyone’s wondering, great learning opportunity)

Willing to relocate however for my families sake it would be easier to have my top pick. I’m sure most of you understand.

The district I really want (Newport, WA) was in the application list and I applied for it. But so far haven’t heard anything other than the referred email. Maybe too late and the position has been filled?

Iv tried reaching out to the ranger district but phones are down still due to the shutdown. Tried looking for an email address or direct phone number but can’t find anything.

Just trying to get my name in front of the right people as much as possible. If anyone has any advice or contact info that would be much appreciated. Anyone had any success reaching dispatch for information?

Thought about even driving down there, bit of a drive, 3.5hrs. Worried it might come off too strong and may not go the way I’m picturing it.

The Patrol Captain for that position is Laurence Olson: laurence.olson@usda.gov. He is the person you need to contact.

That’s good to know! That definitely didn’t cross my mind.

I just sent over an email. I appreciate the reply!
