> Hi Folx,    We will be filling behind Joe Molter with a botanist!!
> The vacancy will be flown on USAjobs from July 17th thru July 21st.
> Here are some background facts for consideration by potential applicants:
> * The Full Position Level is GS-11; however,
> * The vacancy will be advertised under the "Federal Careers Intern
> Program" as an entry level position, i.e. GS-5 or GS-7
> * The position will have an initial 2 year training program, i.e.
> appropriate BLM OJT and, possibly, courses as necessary to develop
> the incumbent's skills
> * The incumbent will be advanced to the next GS level upon the
> anniversaries of their appointment, subject to successful completion
> of their training, until the FPL is achieved
> * The position will be advertised as "DEU" only, i.e. open to all
applicants
> * Since it is advertised as an entry position, no relocation
> expenses are provided
> * Applicants must submit a copy of their transcripts (unofficial is
> initially okay) for consideration, i.e. no transcript = incomplete
application
> * The successful applicant must have a medical exam prior to
> establishing a report date, i.e. he/she is fit for field work
> * A preliminary, advance agency background check must be completed
> by law enforcement prior to establishing a report date. The results
> are usually provided to BLM within 72 hours.
> * A full background check will be completed within the first 6
> months of appointment.
> This is a great opportunity for someone to establish a federal
> career with BLM here at the RFO!  People with limited practical
> experience could apply and qualify at the GS-5 entry level.  People
> with more advanced skills would likely qualify at the GS-7 level
> and, assuming they are successful, advance quickly to the FPL of GS-11.
> Please share this information with your contacts. Have them contact
> me if they have any questions about the duties of the position.  Cheers,
