The deadline to apply for summer employment is Friday, Feb. 9. Applicants must complete a state employment application and be 18 years old before the date of hire. Applications are available at any Game, Fish and Parks office, South Dakota Job Service office or the Bureau of Personnel office in Pierre. Carbonneau said summer employees normally work a 40-hour work week. The season runs from mid-May through Labor Day, but some positions may begin earlier or run later.
Most positions involve outdoor work and physical labor.
We are also looking for retired people and anyone with a strong work ethic and friendly smile. Applicants should indicate their choice of park and job title. Separate applications must be submitted for each park and for each different job title.
