I applied online. I interviewed at US Army Corps of Engineers (Georgetown, TX) in Apr 2013
Interview
I was emailed the position information from a former mentor. Now, I think all seasonal positions have to go through USAJobs. I emailed the Lake Manager (who has since moved) and he set up a phone interview. After that, the manager set me up with their administrative assistant who helped me navigate the hiring process. It was a short interview.
