Wildlife, boxes of records, and Hawaii. What's not to love if you're looking for an opportunity.
"Our office has several rooms of files dating back decades, documenting the history, management, and research that has taken place for 22 National Wildlife Refuges and 4 Marine National Monuments throughout the Pacific. Our main goal is to sort through the files, removing any duplicates or junk, and organize according to the U.S. Department of Interior Records Disposition Schedule. We also have contracted to create an electronic database (using Sharepoint) that is nearly complete, along with a scanner and capture software (Kofax) and we plan to scan the majority of documents into the database. In addition, we will have a large amount of reference material and we'd like to organize a reference library."The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers airfare to and from Honolulu, Hawaii, a stipend of $30 per workday, and free housing at their guest house in Honolulu. If interested email your questions or resume to Naomi Rowden at naomi_rowden@fws.gov, or call (808) 792‐9565.
